I am owed higher rate pension tax relief so why won't HMRC pay me? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I'm writing off the back of your research into unclaimed higher-rate pension tax relief. I've tried claiming this myself but have encountered problems with the process. I've monitored the process via the HMRC app and my claim went from 'received' to 'in progress' to 'done' but with no payment and no communication. When I called, I was told there'd been an error and it was being passed to a technical team, then it cycled back to 'done' again with nothing paid. From talking to others, this doesn't
I'm 34 and my pension end up worth millions - should I save less? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
'm 34 and have had a pension since I was 18. I have always contributed as much as possible and projected for what is deemed a 'comfortable retirement' or retiring early. I have a pot of £160,000 currently. My current pension income projection for age 68 is almost 50 per cent more than my actual wage now. Most projection models online are based on investment returns of 2 per cent, medium of 5 per cent or high at 8 per cent. The fund I'm currently in has returned 147 per cent over ten years. While
Why has Capita made my 81-year-old mum wait months for widow's pension (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My dad who was in receipt of a civil service pension died in November 2025. Months after his death my mum has had no correspondence from Capita with regards to her spouse's pension although they returned the death certificate in December. I sent a letter of complaint in April which has not even been acknowledged although I have confirmed by telephone it was received. After eight weeks I contacted the Pensions Ombudsman only to be told there was a form that needed to be completed to lodge a compl
Does a 1978 rule change mean I'm owed a higher state pension? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I opted to pay a married woman's small National Insurance (NI) stamp in 1975 but then fell pregnant and had our son in December 1976. I didn't resume full-time working until February 1985 when I had to pay the full NI stamp. In those intervening years I have not been given credit on my NI record for Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) for the years 1978 onwards when the system started. On reading your website where you were helping a woman in much the same situation as myself you stated that:
I expected to get my police pension at 55 - why was it delayed to 60? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I joined the police in 1999, and when I joined my retirement age to get the police pension was 55. I left in 2011 when my children came along and the pension was deferred. All my statements continued to indicate that the pension was still payable in 2027, when I reach 55. I have paperwork showing this. I recently requested an up-to-date statement and again it said age 55 and 2027. When I asked a few more questions about my lump sum the scheme noticed an error on their side. The pension is now ap
