A „total contributions approach‟ will be adopted to replace the current averaging system. The level of pension paid will be directly proportionate to the number of social insurance contributions made by a person over his or her working life. This will remove the current anomaly whereby some people qualify for higher pension payments even though they may have fewer contributions (but a higher average) than others who do not qualify, or qualify for a lower pension, due to the average contribution test.
I rang the Welfare line and the automated message said they dont give individual forecasts.
Yes, you have highlighted a little-known aspect of the SI system.
If you make even 1 weeks cont aged 16/17, then the clock starts ticking.
If you apply for the CSP at age 66, then the denominator of your average is 50 years.
So if you have 30 years of contribution you will get the full State Pension. If less than 30 years then a strictly proportionate pension will be paid
