Martin. (I think it was you who started this theme).


... Ian Currie is your man ;-)


Sorry Martin. I had visions of you queuing up for your pension. That
thought must now be directed towards Ian!

Just a little reminder for those about to become Senior Citizens (as I did
two weeks ago). You have to be pro-active to claim your State Pension. It
is NOT automatic as I had naively expected. You have to fill in a 14 page
form (I think it was 14). This form is supposed to be sent to you 4 months
before your birthday. In my case, the papers were somehow overlooked that
so I may well have lost N weeks at £damn all. But a different department
was quick enough to reduce my RAF pension by £13 per annum when I reached
the age of 65 (no idea why). The mind boggles at the administrative cost of
the modern tax and benefit system.
