State Pension 1

State Pensions – there are 2 types of state pension. The first one is based on the amount of social insurance contributions a person has paid. It is NOT means tested & you can receive it from the age of 66. This is known as Contributory Pension. As it is not means tested you can also have an income whilst still receiving your pension.

State Pension V Retirement Lifestyle.

The state pension maybe enough for some people to live the life they are content with, but for many others this will not be enough to pay for the life you may have planned for when you hang up your boots. If this is you then it’s worth considering having your own pension in place for your retirement. This does not effect your state pension payments but will be an additional payment from your state pension.
