Confused about pension I now receive

Beckham74x

I have letters from 2015 stating income related total amounts. Then from feb until April this year I have a letter when I started with pension that my income related amounts are so much and then it states however as you are contribution based you receive this much. But that is the only letter that states contribution based. From 2015 no other letter states contribution based apart from feb until April this year. I haven!!!8217;t even had one from 5th April for this period?????

The last year I did not pay a full 52 weeks of NI contributions was in 1993/1994

You would have been receiving CB with an Income related top up. As stated by other posters that your pension will affect all of the premiums (income related parts) and possibly some of the CB if your pension is more than £85 per week, which it seems like it is. You never answered that question to know for sure.

My letter states:-
Living expenses. £73.10
Severely disabled £62.45
Disability income guarantee £15.90
Support group extra £36.55

Totals £188.00

Now it says less £87.38 due to pension income

Total £100.62 instead of £188.00?????

Don!!!8217;t understand lol

Does the letter go on to say...........(something like this!)
'But because you are on contribution based ESa we will pay you.............'

What are you actually being paid?

My letter from Feb to April this year does but none of the others. Only the one when I started with pension, none prior to that. Haven’t had a new letter for 5th April this year yet?????
