And that's entirely up to you.

Assuming you are replying to my final paragraph, you may have difficulty convincing other posters (save maybe 1 or 2 :cool: ) to agree with you.

Ha! Pollycat - you're not 'outing' some Aegonians on here are you?

You are right about SERPS/S2P prior to April but unfortunately GunJack, many/most of the 1950's born women being most affected by these changes to state pension age already have more than the maximum 35 years NI (I have 44) and, those of us currently working but retiring after April this year, will continue to have to pay NI but will not accrue more than the new state pension. Are you beginning to see why some women are complaining?

For those contracted out for the majority of their working lives (women and men), and who continue to work and pay NI, they will accrue more pension under the single tier.

And not contracted out? Nada.

back in 2011, many/most women were still unaware that their pension age had been changed by the previous Pensions Act 1995

You seem to have previously asserted having read something that contains the text "Letters to women with a State Pension age determined by the 1995 timetable (born between 6th April 1950 and 5th April 1953) were sent between April 2009 and March 2011".

Perhaps you may wish to recant?

You've got me foxed here... how do you defer a state pension of £8,000? Surely, after April 6th this year, there is no 'deferral'?

5.8% a year increase in state pension, inflation linked for life, no lump sum option, for those who reach state pension age from 6 April 2016 onwards. 10.4% and in addition mostly inheritable by a spouse for those who reached SPA before then.

Ha! I'm not 'outing' anyone.

I just don't read that article and assume - as you clearly have - that even 'in July 2016 and still the misinformation continues'.

"areas of policy and pensions" is what she said.

NOT over the Waspi issue and told not to engage'

No I don't do recanting.

I don't recall saying that? If I did, is that quoting from DWP evidence? I do know that 1954's like myself did not receive notification until 2012.

And your point is?

Ok - we'll agree to differ on that one then.

...if you are contracted out. Not everyone is.
