Hmm, busman beat me to it. I was going to point out that my step-mother did not have sufficient pension contributions when she retired and was forced to seek Income Support to top her State Pension. She was told that she could continue to work but that anything she earned over £5.00 per week would be deducted, pound for pound, from her top up.

I think that it is about time that the whole pensions system was overhauled.
