NI contributions; you could ask our MP about that Kenny. You'll get a response no doubt but whether it will be one that directly and specifically answers your questions may be debatable. Based on my own experience of her responses I wouldn't bet on it. Whenever I get a letter back from her I always have in mind a picture of a student looking at an exam paper and thinking "OMG I don't really know ...
Flat rate state pension of £155 per week wef 2015? http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-2142218/Queens-Speech-Pension-victory-flat-rate-155-week-payout.html
£25,000pa after tax? So, say £35,000 gross pa? Isn't that how the government worked out the new (wef April this year) in total allowance for a family totally reliant on benefits? £25,000 per family per year max. Apparently to have a net income of £25,000 someone would have to have a gross income of £35,000 or so I seem to remember various government ministers saying. So........ how about ...
Yes, you are correct in that whether or not you are eligible for a state pension (and how much) is based on how many years you paid NI (or had NI credited as though paid). I believe it is 30 years worth of NI contributions now (at least that what the piece of paper I received from HM Government says - but of course they (HMG) can always move the goal posts like they have been doing of late). ...
Been told that the larger Co-op store in T'mouth will be closing this weekend. All staff made redundant. Wilkinson's will be moving in. Anyone know if this is true?
NI is just another form of tax. It gets spent by whatever government is in power on whatever that government wants to spend it on at the time that they receive it. NI contributions are not ringfenced for welfare/NHS spending only and they are certainly not put aside for spending sometime in the future on individuals who have paid it in the form of state pensions. The state pension scheme, ...
I've got a variation on that theme Kenny which is...........why not cut out paying state pension to those who have private retirement incomes over a certain amount - say, more than £50,000 pa? After all if they have an income of that or more then why on earth do they need a state pension let alone bus passes, winter fuel allowances, tv licences etc. I don't live in the world that such people ...

No-one's saying cars shouldn't be parked around the Marine shops area. What is being said is that they shouldn't be parked there illegally (or illegally parked anywhere else for that matter). Are you saying that an illegally parked car which, by being parked where it shouldn't be, and which then causes an accident is an okay thing? Whether or not cyclists should have compulsory insurance , ...
