    We'll I guess you have a point but you can probably earn that £6k quite easily in 14 months, earn your £6k and then 'retire'

    No, I can't earn that £6K quite easily in 14 months.

    I took early retirement 11 years ago - I am actually in receipt of my occupational pension.

    It's just luck that my financial calculations weren't dependent on my receiving my state pension at age 63 years and 6 months.
    Well it's not exactly a major change now is it. Annoying more than anything and after working for say 40 years a few months more is hardly earth shattering.

    Cheers fj

    You may think it's not a major change but I disagree.
    As I've said, it has deprived me of over £6K.
    I will decide whether I think that is 'annoying' or something more.

    Check the dictionary definition:
    14 is not 'a few'.
