state pension?


narnia

Recommended Posts

ok.............I confess I have reached the age where I can claim my state pension. I thought this would be easy, BUT hubby seems to think I won't get a pension in my own right, rather it will be a married couples one..............basically, topping up the one he gets! Is that correct..............

I retired last April 2015 at 64.....only EVER paid lower stamp in 70s and 80s,as had to wait 13 painful years

to have my daughter,so wasn't worth paying 'full'stamp....then childminded from home to be with my

children.....then worked part-time while they were at school....so never really had full contributions

for my pension.....then for past 12 years as owner of the nursery ...self-employed....so when my forecast

came I was a few years short of the Full pension...but checked and you can claim so many years being at

home bringing your family up..think it is called Home responsibilities thingy.....check it out if your

forecast is less than you thought...I get the same as my hubby....good luck with your forecast Narnia xx

I will see you in the 'Food bank queue' narnia - wish I had taken this whole pension thing a little more seriously when there was still time to do something about it :wacko:
