Letter from the Govt.

[stevewool]

with myself retiring early 60 instead of 60 something what ever the figure is, anyway i have worked since i was 17 and with just 6 months in all that time out of work, so with my reckoning thats over 43 years, so surely i will get a state pension, yes i cannot claim it till i am at retirement age which is going to another 6 years i think, am i right

you only need 30 yrs contributions, sorry nothing extra for the other 13 yrs


depends when you were born, you may retire at 65, but you may not get your pension untill later depending on your date of birth,

example , i was born feb 1954, i can retire at 65, but i wont get any pension untill im 65 and a half
