Lots of potential kids to use a new playground though from all the new houses being built literally up the road from the Blackdown site
I don't have a facebook account so can anyone who does tell me if there are postings on fb about the single tier pension scheme that I've been going on about on another thread and if there are postings give me hyperlinks to them please. Thanks. You just beat me to it Flo with the explanation about Foxy and Citizen Smith. It was Wolfy's girlfriend's mother who kept calling him Foxy instead of ...
FAO Kenny You still read the posts on this website? Ask as I seem to remember your mentioning a few years back that in your working life your speciality was pensions. Is that right? If so, can you take a butchers at the comments in the two links below concerning opting out, inflation linking, guaranteed minimum pension and the new single tier pension that will come into effect 6th April ...
and just to point out the blooming obvious which is.............the more money you have/higher the private pension you have the less impact these changes will have on your finances. In other words, it is those lower down the socio-economic pile who will feel the impact of the changes to the state pension age/amount so much more than those at the top. Sorry, just felt an overwhelming need to ...
Oh yes I'm sure another governemnt could change them, and no doubt over the passage of time another government will change them though my cynicism tells me it will not necessarily be to the benefit of the state pensioner. And the fact that the state pension system can be changed is why Steve Webb's (Coalition's Lib Dem Pension Minister) claim that the system will be of benefit to women in the ...
But we are where we are. And whilst I may not disagree one jot with much of what you write it does not alter the truth of my statement regarding late 50s/early 60s aged women and this new pension system.
The basics is that there is a lot of ripping off going on by this government and in specific relation to the new pension system it is women of the late 50/early60 aged group who are about to be ripped off the most!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/pensions/11036468/Steve-Webb-New-state-pension-will-treat-women-as-adults-in-their-own-right.html Spin! On the subject (had to go careful there nearly wrote the word 'subjugation') of women. Where to start? 1. It turns out he is talking about future. How long in the future? Is he seriously suggesting that a present day 19 year old woman ...
I know the new system will not effect those who are already of state pension age just as I know that whatever they are getting now they will continue to get. I've already stated elsewhere that this new system is for those who will reach state retirement age from 6th April 2016. I am trying to work out the difference (financially) between what those on the present system get and what those on ...
I (we?) would really appreciate it if anyone reading this who has a knowledge of the pensions system can confirm what I am writing/suggest answers to the questions I am posing. Present System 1. The present basic state pension for a single person is £113.10 2. It can then be topped up via Pension Credit to £148.35. 3. Being awarded pension credit can be a passport to other benefits ...
