Thank you for that. I also thought the same. I also contacted AGEUK and they guided me to their factsheets here which is a pretty comprehensive read.Beaglehound wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 5:02 amYour NI record should tell you how many more years you, individually, need to contribute to get the maximum payout. In general it is 35 years and there is no point paying more but there are some exceptions. See the wiki:Bubblegun wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:58 amWales4rugbyWC19 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:53 am
This could be SERPS- state earnings related pension scheme, which has been in existence since about the late 70s, it has been wound down and integrated into the higher value new state pension.
That's what I was looking for. I knew there was some scheme which I remember Thatcher talking about. I also found this about the additional state pension, which makes this all complicated. By the Looks of it they've been wound down.
