    FURTHER UPDATE


    Another letter (about 30 pages long) from Fr Jablonski arrived today.


    It would appear, finally after 14 months of deliberation and calculation, that she has worked out I will receive 117.35 Euros a month (about £84 at the current conversion rate) from 1 December - four and a bit months after my 65th birthday.


    It's written in the most stultifying Amtsdeutsch but I think I've got the gist of it. Grateful for anything of course, but why should it take so long?


    Civil service in UK wins hands down in this comparison.

    I checked my online State Pension a couple of days ago. It includes the line:
    "The full basic State Pension in 2015/2016 is £113.10 a week."

    Unfortunately, £113.10 was the rate in 2014/15.

    If DWP can't be bothered to do simple proofing of their online tools it makes you wonder how much care they take to ensure the underlying calculations are accurate. :eek:
