Re: ‘Cautious welcome for £144-a-week pension’ – as it stands now, to qualify for a full pension you need to have 30 years paid-in contributions where previously you needed to have 44 years.
I’m due to receive my pension this year having paid in 43 years.
So I went to one of Jack Straw’s surgeries and asked him what has happened to my extra 13 years that I paid in.
I and many others should be entitled to a rebate somewhere in the region of £7,000 for contributions we have paid in.
That was five months ago and after various emails saying it is being looked into, I’m still awaiting a conclusive answer.
