@angrypict86317@flickhwilliams No, the capital thresholds are still exactly the same, the same as they were in 1999, & I'm not sure how long before that tbh.
@joeyjojojunior_@NadiaWhittomeMP Ahh, ok....yes....so if the rental income is currently more than the permitted work threshold of £195.50 pw it would make you ineligible.
@MuireannCait@Groves17Diana@Landeur@ThingsHidden2 Some benefits do provide a class 1 NI credit, such as Carer's Allowance or New Style ESA, the same class 1 credits that NI deductions from wages are converted to.
@Groves17Diana@Landeur@ThingsHidden2 You should really do a little reading yourself. 35 years worth of credits = 35 qualifying years = a full new state pension, & those credits can come from state benefits.
@tomorrow28170@Landeur After working for the DWP for *many* years, yes, of course, but what folk see it as doesn't change the fact of what it actually is. The number of folk who still think there's a pot their contributions have gone into is just astonishing (not including you there, just in general).
@tomorrow28170@Landeur This means my new state pension forecast shows I'll get a full new state pension, just the same as my husband who has worked full time & had NI deducted from his wage.
There's a *huge* lack of knowledge about how the new state pension qualifying years, credits etc works.
@tomorrow28170@Landeur Personal example....since having kids I've worked part time. I've had credits from Child Benefit & also, whilst my earnings were below the threshold for having NI deducted, they were above the LEL (lower earnings limit), so...I got class 1 credits.
