65 but no pension!

Made it to 65 on Tuesday but no free money until January for me.   Mind you plenty of time for them to change the rules again in the mean time.   Patsy has been told her office will be closing by December next year at the latest so there will be two of us with feck all to do.  
Boat is finally ready to launch but sods law the Harbour Master at Wells tells me the moorings are full. I'm on a waiting list!

Think i'm November when i get my pension and you have to apply for it, cheeky bleeders,
Happy Birthday Vince,
Will you be sailing the boat or selling it

Belated birthday wishes Vince. Wifi was non-existent on the ship. Sorry, I missed it. (Reg knows how it feels... )

belated birthday wishes Vince

Thanks peeps. I wont be selling the boat. The Devil dont want it lol. I shall look into that info about applying for the pension. Think its January so I shall look forward to some cold weather payment too. Sadly my nearest bus stop is 7 miles away but best I get one of those too, can lend it to Freddie!

I thought the females were given extra credit years for looking after the kids or has that stoped now?

I believe they changed the qualifying years, I was okay when I got mine.

Hmmm, stamps. I think I will be jumping through some hoops. We shall see.

If you phone 0800 731 0175 it's a government number for getting data on your forthcoming pension, they ask for basic data such as name, address, date of birth, national insurance number, etc, about a week later you get a letter telling you your pension amount, date due, and if your are short on payments (stamps/or years of payments)...

Pension credits then.

And no free TV license when you are really old.

Cheeky barsteward !!! I qualified this year for the T.V. licence freebie, twats scrapped it as soon as I was entitled to it 

I need summer cold weather payment too. My heating has been on for the past two nights. I blame global warming.

I just had that hive fitted on my phone, when i go out i turn it down and when i am on my way home i turn it up, dont think Janet has worked it out yet

Good job you got rid of your Nokia x

Still got it

So I applied for my pension online on the 22nd of November as I had not had a letter. I gave them my bank details but as yet I have heard absolutely nowt. I am due to receive it on Monday so I will check my account then.  
Just wondering does it get paid weekly or monthly?
