We hung on to ours until our drugs were getting low. Took the forms to the doctor and after doing our repeat prescriptions he did the forms. Easy peasey. I haven't seen the inside of a bank for nearly 10 years.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

DW got hers last week, took to Pharmacy, he filled it in and said it was one of many, offered to pay but he declined.

Seems to be drifting on to the life certificate, not notification of this years pension increase.

Seems like it ties in with the UK tax year?
"The new rates will apply in the tax year 2022/23 and come into effect on 11 April 2022."

Thanks bayleaf seems like we are getting something at least, yet my state pension is not as much as they say the full pension is, £185, but then this is what they term the new state pension, where those concerned had only to contribute three quarters of what we did, to be entitled to more. Then there is something they quote me "contracted out", I remember in the mists of time signing something presented to me by a Union rep, Christ knows what it was all about, What with that and the dodgy accountant advising OH not to pay NI contributions, which has now left her short, if only we could turn back time.

Not a problem Sparkle, been the instigator of it several times before myself, in view of this mornings developments I wonder if I will ever get to spend it in any case, absolute lunacy gone mad.

I do agree @Pathca but if it is your tread and centres around a specific question it can be annoying. Apologies @hughnique for further thread drift.

So back on track
No we have not had ours yet.
