I am beginning to wish I had never asked.Just thought it would be good to get some clarification from those in the know.Not be accused of envy and resentment for heaven's sake.Those sort of comments are unneccesary.

My comment was not aimed at you but the many on these forums who are making a big thing of not receiving £148.40 as if it will ruin their lives.

thankfully I already have 30 yrs (27 c/o) so under current rules will get full basic SP, but still have 20 yrs to go before state pension age, so could still add up to 20 yrs of x/35 to my single-tier SP up to the max it is at the time.. see, over-complex

Thank you.The post that inferred it WAS aimed at me has been removed.Hopefully had second thoughts about being so unpleasant.There will be a lot of people not even trying to understand the complexity of pensions,and that is why emotions sometimes run high,but to those who are in genuine hardship,it can be a worry.
