I don't understand why the person on A1 stamp has to declare they are not working to receive the balance of their full pension (aka supplementary pension) equalisation principle to someone on a D stamp. The retiree on D stamp can work and receive full pension. The retiree on A 1 stamp can only work if forgoes balance of pension - called supplementary pension. This seems contrary to equalisation principle and ageist too. So we have a number of experienced people who cannot work between the ages of 60 and 66yrs in order to receive similar pension to a retiree on the D stamp? Is there not an obvious legal anomaly here within the system ? How does anyone benefit from this? Employers looking for workers and psychological and exchequer benefits too? Not feasible for many to drop the supplementary benefit for a small amount of hours per week nor fair that one should loose the same pension benefit as colleagues on D pension.
