thanks Brie and Booneruk - I felt like it was a scam too.  still feel very dubious but that is why I thought I would come on here to ask if I am not totally losing it LOL!!  I suppose only time will tell - or when Martin Lewis comes on tv to tell us that it is all a fairytale!!  in the meantime I shall live in hope 

Your free to hope for anything you like of course, but a lottery win would be a more realistic thing to hope for.

That entire site reads like an AI hallucination.

Funny you say that, as th AI pictures make my eyes go funny.

Did you mean the 1st April?

It is a benefit….effectively a defined benefit.

Just to be clear - Pensions aren't a benefit   (had to get that in)

Don't think the government agrees with you, unless the legislation has changed in recent years:

'The State Pension is described in legislation as a “benefit” in order to root it within the existing social security framework as a statutory scheme paid out of monies in the National Insurance Fund.'

It was a joke

In response to what Booneruk wrote

Careful, don't poke the "Pensions aren't a benefit" crowd  

Hence why i wrote "had to get that in"

..no, it's all true. They are also going to be giving all pensioners free helicopter lessons and a free helicopter to get themselves to all the new hospitals they are building....

You know the greatest part? 

No-one will have to pay for it. They're simply going to print the money needed.

That site has a bunch of gibberish about driving licence changes as well.
