Older Pensioners .

[gulliver1]

Around 10. million older pensioners will receive £226 less p/a from their state pensions,under the triple lock system. While new retirees will see an increase of £972 a year. Doesn't seem very fair to me .
Or is this conservatism .Get rid of the old ones first.

Did the older pensioner pay their contributions in for 10 years longer though .
44 years instead of 32 years and now 35 years .... An extra 10 years contributions would have made it even.

Read New Judge and Giz. The assertion is misleading.

The new state pension is higher than the old state pension. There are many reasons for this and it is far too complex to go into here,

oh thank god the great and good are looking after us after all
( and after themselves - as in I dont think NJ's pension is on the way down)

//44 years instead of 32 years and now 35 years//
Its not that simple though. Ive actually paid in for 43 years already from age 16 and my record shows that but it says I still need to contribute for another 6 years to get full state pension.... thats because I was contracted out and paid into my works pension for many of them years
