Hello I hope somebody can enlighten me on the following. I am living in Australia and will reach pension age in March 2010. I will have 16 years contributions paid which will give me 37% of the UK State Pension (not increased annually for inflation in Australia). However as a result of the reciprocal agreement between Australia and the U.K. which ended in February 2001. I can...

Hi, I just applied for an Online State Pension Forecast. At the bottom of the forecast it says "Our records show that you are paying into another pension scheme instead of the State Second Pension" The last time I was paying into a PP scheme where I was contracted out was 1996. Since then I have been unemployed for a short time and receiving JSA, I have been self-employed and have had ...

I've done a state pension forecast for me and my husband. We're the same age, and we both earn more or less the same amount of money (I earn £1k a year more than him). We both also have 20 years' of full NI contributions so far. Our forecasts have come out as: Me: £122.27 (£95.25 basic pension + £27.02 S2P) Husband: £169.22 (£95.25 basic pension + £73.97 S2P) I don't get it; ...

As a male aged 63, I have a couple of years to run before my state pension starts. For the last couple of years or so, I have been receiving a small private pension of £120 monthly. I do not work, living off savings. My wife, is in receipt of her state pension, and due to an incomplete record, she receives about 63% of the full amount. My question relates to what will happen to my state ...

Apologies if this has been asked before, but when a married couple are both eligible for their state pension and they have made the relevant NI contributions throughout working life, are they entitled to two single persons tax or do they automatically have to take married couple's pension. I've tried looking for the information on DirectGov but can't find the answers. Thanks people

Did anyone know they had to check out wether their state pension was protected by the Home Responsibilities Protection scheme. Meaning those parents who stop work to look after their kids and dont contribute to NI could affect their pension. On the direct.gov.uk website under the Tax and benefits section they do say you automically would qualify for the HRP if your getting child benefit ...

UK state pension is the worst of all G7 countries Quote State pension provision in the UK is the worst of its G7 counterparts as new research from Axa showed it is worth just 31 per cent of the nation's average earnings. Despite this, two thirds (64 per cent) of UK residents intend to rely on their state pension in retirement as more and more workers move away from occupational ...

If someone over 66 years of age getting the state pension (non-contributory) has only €50 of outgoings per week and their savings are continually rising each week can the pension of €219 be reduced under the means test? I know once they get to €20,000 of savings they will start to lose €1 per week for every €1000 of savings, but is there any clause that says 'evidence (pensioners bank ...

Hi. I have two questions. Firstly, I'm 34 and have dual citizenship (Ireland and USA). I've been living in the UK for 14 years and have been paying my NI (I've been both employed and self employed). My husband and I are moving to the States next year. We don't plan on moving back. I believe I wouldn't be entitled to the state pension when I reach that age, but I'm wondering what happens to all ...

if you didnt complete a CA1543 in 1996, your PP would remain open. No rebates would be paid for your periods self employed, or unemployed, but rebates would start to be paid again when you recommence full NI paid work.
