He'll get his state pension when he reaches 67. That’s a private/company pension he's getting. I’ve been getting one of those since I was 60. Not quite £85k a year though…..The man responsible for increasing the state pension age to 67 retired at 61 with a £245k lump sum and £85k a year.
Archived Petition: Force Robert Deveraux to work to state pension age. He’s the man that made it 67
Sir Robert Deveraux is retiring at age 61 after increasing our state pension age to 67. He retires with a £245,000 lump sum and £85,000 per year, that’s a £1.8M pension pot. Why should ordinary hard working people work themselves to death so that he can put his feet up in the sun on tax payers moneypetition.parliament.uk
I've been getting £903 a month and next month it goes up by £90
I also have a company pension which increases with what used to be called the RPI, but is now a different name and a better pay-out.
I wouldn't say no to an extra £1k each month though.

The contribution on £0 is £0 plus whatever you chose to pay in. The self-emp amount was very low I believe, so people paid that.
Pay in what you can but you have just missed the April 5th deadline for this year.
Look at PIP.
Arthritis > can't walk 50metres or 20m, would give you £25 or 60 (ish..) Mobility benefit (not means tested) cheaper car tax, blue badge.. Claim before you retirement age though, you can't claim the same after. (!!)
General Living- qute a low threshold for getting that, which is iirc about £50pw for the low rate, 71 for high with other allowances..
I've just been through it for someone else, it's more complicated than it looks. "Everyone" plays the system because "they always" expect it.

What private company? I thought he was a civil servant, in which case his pension and payout are from my money.
You mean in the same sense that if you shop at Sainsburys, the shopworkers wages, sick pay and pensions are "your" money.
Never heard of him. Was he a Prime Minister who forced his party to change the law?

This post about the decision to increase the state pension age needs some context - Full Fact
Its figures on the pension of the former-permanent secretary to the DWP are correct, his role in the decision making process is less clear cut.

Oh I see. He was an employee given the task of implementing the policy, decisions and law chosen by our government.
I've chosen to pay nothing in the last 12 years.

Not really the same is it.
We have the choice of shopping elsewhere.
Many people pay for government services etc. much of which is to fund gold plated pensions, when they themselves have no such deal.
You could argue they are free to get jobs in the public sector, but then we could all have studied/worked harder to get better paid jobs and not moan about so called rich people needing to pay more taxes.
