Looks as if this could rumble on for a while.  I'm looking forward to more details on how it will be implemented.

Thanks for the responses.

Dave.

  Hi David

the devil is always in the detail of the budget Irrespective of which political party is in power
can't help thinking of  the Sir Humphrey Appleby  character  pulling the strings in the  BBC's Yes Minister tv series

 I'm just glad for me , works now optional
inbetween contracts I receive more than the JSA payments
so I sign on just  for the extra NI contributions  to receive the full state pension
as it stands I have enough contributions but you never know if they will increase the number of years contributions needed

you can't trust them –  people now have to work longer before they get the state pension
you never what's the next scheme they will come up with to reduce the governments pension bill

Hi All,

--- End quote ---

Here in the Emerald Isle, they pulled a stroke a year or two ago, it used to be a person needed a certain total number of contributions to qualify for a full pension,
They then changed it to 30'ths meaning the contributer needed to have contributions in 30 of the years up to pension age, pension is reduced by fractional amounts (1/30) for non contributary years

Remember !!!
No matter who you vote for the governmant still gets elected  :doh: :doh: :doh:
