General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

A lot of people think you automatically get your state pension but you have to apply for it
The other day I had to write details down off my driving licence and gave myself a shock has it runs out in March but the good news is I would get a notification about it before the due date.
Bad news is I will have to renew it twice 1st in March then again in August when I turn 70[B)
Some pensioners will get a shock next year because the new state pension could take them over their personal tax allowance this year. The tax man cannot take tax from your state pension but next year could send you a tax demand if you get paid more than your personal allowance so be aware of this
