My mother received a letter today from the Pension Unit in the department of education and skills.
She had applied for and received a state pension two years ago amounting to 50 per week, this was also backed paid from when she first should have received it at age 65. She is now 70.
she also has an occupational pension and a supplementary pension from Dept. of Ed. 42,700 and 1600.
this shouldn't have happened...so they are stopping the supplementary pension of 1600. Does anyone know how they will be allowing her to payback the amount owed? She is very worried as my father does not qualify for any pension.
Any advice going forward. It probably sound naive but she just didn't have any idea she shouldn't be getting both.
