Forms being sent by post to sign and return.

I think you will probably be the only pensioner on here who struck lucky today. You must have been first in the queue before the site crashed.

Can a spokesman from NS&I confirm that despite their incompetence they will still allow me and my wife to buy some bonds?
If not, does this amount to fraud?

I heard on Radio 4 this morning that there is only a certain monetary amount available, and on tv just now that they will be available for months.

Don't think you will be able to claim 'fraud' if you don't get any.

I know these bonds cannot be registered for gross interest under the R85 scheme.
Can anyone advise a PAYE pensioner how to reclaim the tax paid at the end of financial year?

I think you would need to claim through a self assessment return.

Have read the Bumfff associated with the launch of the New 65+ Pensioner Bonds; but no where does it explain how to withdraw the investment at the end of the period! ! Any thoughts or explanations please.

have a look at page 4 here, 'When your bond matures'.

and now NS&I won't even let me login!
time for a coffee!

In response to Frugalmacdugal "I heard on Radio 4 this morning that there is only a certain monetary amount available, and on tv just now that they will be available for months." Those two statements are probably incompatible. They don't give me any confidence - there's no point having the offer available for months if the certain monetary amount runs out!

Hi,

you could read it as, 'it'll be months before it all runs out'.
