colly0410 1,180 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 #42 colly0410, I just managed to scrape in & claim pension credit at 62 and a quarter. Mrs Catfan missed out tho, now 60 yrs her retirement age is 66 & no bus pass untill then. When I was 60 I got free prescriptions & err that's it, used to get so many things for free at 60, not any more. Jobs since school - mining apprentice then belt staff & on the diesel locos, army, on the dole & temp bar/van driving jobs early to mid 80's, taxi driver, driving instructor, security guard, housekeeper at QMC (still there) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
