Anyone who was in a contracted out pension scheme for part of their working career will have given up some of their state pension rights and the amount they have given up will depend on the years in which they were contracted out and their ...

Where an individual has previously been contracted out of the additional State Pension, a deduction will be applied, reflecting the fact that they have paid lower National Insurance contributions whilst they were contracted out, as is consistent with current practice.

For example a woman born 6.01.53 is due for state pension on 6.11.2015 when she is 62 years and 10 months old. ...
Yeah Ellie's Attic is great (it's on Shutterton Industrial Estate. Turn into the estate, then turn right by Dawlish Carpets. Ellie's Attic is on your left. They've just expanded into the premises next door so much stuff do they have).
That is brilliant! Will be sending that link to quite a few people. Hope it goes viral!
