Does anyone know any serious info regarding the title. My mum been told she wont get one as not paid enough NI over the years, tho she has worked part time, and lived off my dads pension from work for 25 years.. shes also been told about some tax credit she MAY get, but will lose 1 pound for each 500 she has saved. So because shes been careful over the years since my dad died, and went through a very bad bout of breast cancer herself, which caused lymphodeama shes never been able to work more than a few hours.. but due to her not being one to bother doctors she never got a not saying unfit for fulltime work. Shes just plodded on with her life, never asking for any help at all, yet now been dealt this blow. Can anyone please help |

You get back what you pay in. There's no great mystery. Many people find themselves in your mum's position. There are probably benefits she is entitled to , to top up her income. The C.A.B would be a good start. Mail them. |

How does this work for people that have never paid in, due to many reasons, some bone idle some ill heslth etc and have only taken all their life. It just seems the fact shes just managed to get by since losing my dad, and having her cancer etc yet still worked shes being penalised |

Unless you have a private pension, being long term bone idle will pay out the same at pension time as part time workers  |

Contact Age Uk as I suggested or CAB as many others have. We genuinely don't have answers that will help your mum. They will. Age uk will actually send someone out to chat to youd mum and help her with the forms for any benefit she might be entitled to. There are other agencies who will do this, google "help with completing benefit forms for the elderly".
Good luck. |
