Is this true?
"Ministers have dropped plans to give women with a partial pension entitlement the chance to make up the shortfall before they retire, it emerged last night."

RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

AFAIK there was never any plan. There was a Lords amendment to the Pensions Bill which proposed that women should be able to buy back missing NI years before 1996. The Lords voted in favour ( ie a defeat for the Govt), the Govt looked at it, and rejected it, not least because all these ladies will be entitled to pension credit anyway.
It's not a U turn - and it's nothing to do with the state pension changes starting in 2010.Trying to keep it simple...
