I am not pension age yet and was contracted out for quite a number of years but I noticed a few months ago when I was looking online that I will get the full pension when I retire as long as I contribute for another 5 years which is fine for me.

My big complaint is that when I joined the teachers pension scheme when I first started teaching, my pension age was 60 in that scheme but they changed it in line with state pension age so I now have to work until I am 67 to get my full teachers pension. I am not complaining about the pension age of 67 (much!) but the fact that the goalposts were changed.

Pixie, that is the complaint that the WASPI women have. Except in their (my) case, they had already planned their working years and anticipated their State pension, then were told they would have to work more years before they got it. And in my case, my occupational pension changed too, we were given 3 months notice that we would get it 6 years later. I appealed, and managed to get mine in the 3 months.
