Deep seated hatred of Scottish Power and all who sail in her - would love to see Ofgem grow a pair and actually do something about it.2 -
She is correct - what "interim payment" were you expecting ? SP age is no longer 66 and her state pension age is 66y 3m.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

A friend who will reach 66 next February will get her state pension at 66 years and 11 months.
