& of course everyone gets their NI paid working or not,but the plan seemed to be to divide from records those who were in work in a particular year from those who were not.
Then to operate percentages accordingly.Like someone in work 80%of the period would get a higher pension award than someone out of work 80%of the time in the same 'qualifying'period.(30 Years or whatever).
This obviously penalises long term sick and jobless once they reach pension age & favours those who have "worked hard all their lives"hence "making work pay".
There may be a possibility that the long term sick and jobless pension might vanish all together if taken to extremes.
Have a nice afternoon,bye

J,

I can only reiterate once more, that I am not aware of any such plans.
