Assuming you mean the last thing, no. It makes no sense to me.

Ok - but it still isn't "old" data. You've fixated on what looks like a less than £100 per month difference, to say the OP was using "old data."

It is literally the data from HMG's website as to the "maximum pension."

The fact some people are old enough to have a better deal doesnt seem important.

That's my point. In the *old* systems, there are ways to get more.

The OP is talking about the system most working people will face. They didn't use old numbers. They used the current ones.

I have a full NI history. The Government has said that's my maximum state pension when I reach 67.

If I have other, non state, pensions that isn't really the point.

Ok. But it's not a pension I'll get, is it?

So it's not older data. Your pension is the older numbers.

Sure, but that's not the current figures.

Private pensions aren't relevant to what the state can afford though.

The current maximum state pension is £230 per week, so that figure seems to be a 4 week month.
