Becoming A Pensioner

Just filled in my State Pension application form.

Does anyone else feel sick filling in official forms or is it just my own phobia?

Now to go to Max Spielman to get a passport photo for my buspass application.

The question is; hair up or hair down?

FifiD  Hair up!!! Good luck xx

Drummerman  Haring down is quicker…

Fay  Crikey do you need to apply if you’ve been paying in forever and they know? Should we be wishing you “good luck” as if they might turn you down? X

Bentonbag  Oh goodness yes.   

The DWP can't give you anything without the paperwork (or online).  It's partly so you can defer it to a later date if you want.   The form comes automatically three and a half months before your qualifying birthday.  Also they need to know about current marital status and his/her NI number, birthdate etc.

Fay  It makes sense now! X

Mr E Twin  Except when it doesn't! I spent weeks trying to get mine last year (pension, not bus pass).

Mrs Lasagne  Up xxxxx

Woolerwoman  Half and half!! Make sure you look awful - it's bad form to look attractive.

Cousin Daisy  Hair up. I feel the same about forms.
