Women to lose their old age pension

[geared]

I happen to think that raising the next generation properly is one of the best contributions women can make to society. And believe me, it is genuine work. Unfortunately it is grossly undervalued by this strange new world we live in.

 

I totally agree, but then does that mean said contribution needs to be results tested??

 

If your child(ren) turn out to be terrible people should the mother loose all related benefits for not 'doing a good job'

Should they be made to pay claimed benefits back?

Would you extend that retroactive principle to people who are made redundant?

 

After all, they can't have been 'doing a good job' if the company they work for ends up going under.

 

 

PS: don't be mentioning the issue being out of their hands, e.g. through deficient management or economic downturn. After all, no mother ever has so much influence and 'power' on her kids, as to always and steadfastly prevent them from falling in with the wrong crowd or developing psychopathic tendencies.

Well that'd mean paying back all their national insurance payments surely?

I agree entirely with that. Call me old fashioned if you want, but I think bringing children up is a vitally important job and I hate the way successive governments have demonized mother's into getting an outside job.

I thought the idea of pension credit was to make the state pension up to a minimum level no matter the amount of stamps paid in .

An awful lot of people don't qualify for any top ups from pension credit because they have savings or a work pension. So having a works pension will leave you no better off than if you hadn't bothered.

I know Anna. That is the position we are in, i'e,no top up because of work pension, but what I meant was anybody who has nothing gets pension credit, or is that not the case ?
