During the term of the last government, it was planned that by 2020, those who had paid 1560 'stamps' over their working life (about 30 years worth) would be entitled to full, contributory state pension upon retirement, as is the case in the UK. Does anybody know if the current government has dropped this plan? Are we still going to have to maintain an average of 48 'stamps' per year across our working lives (as has been the case until now) in order to qualify?
