Can anyone offer may any advice about the State second Pension.
I contracted out some 12/14 years ago and also took out a Private Pension also. I was self employed at the time. I think that I only paid in for about 6 years before I became seriously ill with cancer and had to quit work some six years ago. So I guess I only paid in for some 6/8 years to both funds.
I am 62 now and in receipt of Pension Credit - although my health has improved I am unlikely ever to work again.
Would it benefit me to contract back into the State Scheme? Can I contract back in? All help and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.
