Re: UK State Pension - delayed payments ?

What I also found interesting is that I reverted to my maiden name last September and I'm positive I got a letter confirming the change of name. But the life certificate letter came in the old name....

Re: UK State Pension - delayed payments ?

I don't come on here much anymore but I did on the weekend and came across this post. I thought I won't get a letter because someone above said this request is every two years and I only turned 66...

Re: Contracted-Out & State Pension

Bats,
where is the link to opted-out pensions? Is that only if you can see your forecast online? I did a search on gov.uk but it didn't come up with anything that I hadn't already read.

Thanks for that feedback Bats. Yes, I've fallen into the age for women changes, as well, although I do kind of agree there shouldn't be a difference in the ages. But, every time you think you...

Re: Contracted-Out & State Pension

You mean it was reduced by 89 pounds a week? Yikes!

I did eventually manage to log in but it still asks for a UK address. I don't know why they can't say that before you go through the hassle of...

Re: Contracted-Out & State Pension

Does anyone have any experience yet of how being contracted-out has affected their State Pension? I can't seem to figure out how much this will affect my pension.

Re: Contributing to the UK state Pension whilst living over seas? time limit?
