As Of Today

[Tilly2]

I am officially an Old Age Pensioner. However, I will not get my pension until Dec.6th, as it is paid a month in arrears. (Flippin' heck)

Has it always been the case that people have had to wait a-n-o-t-h-e-r month for their State Pension, or is it something new?

Psybbo we get the increase on our allotted pay day after the beginning of the new tax year which is April 6th.

[Psybbo]

No Lady, it is now put off until the 13th.

[ladybirder]

Really, to start next year? Have you got a link to that please Psybbo? This year I got mine on 7th April.

Get yourself down the shops and get a bag of Werther's Originals.

[Hopkirk]

No, you just sit by a log fire with an inane grin and give them to young children.

My birthday was in the March and I received my oap pension about 6 weeks later but it was all backdated so it was rather a nice chunky amount... or so I thought at the time. Reality though is just a pittance.
