posted this q. last week but no replies so far (which is all very odd ! have i done something to offend, hope not ?

anyway ... cl. aged 58 and has received w.p since 1997.
also claiming j.s.a but not receiving this because w.p higher.
has just received s.r.p forecast which states she would receive £87.30 pw now, and £89.00 pw approx. upon retirement age.
this indicates cl. has full n.i cont. record, and does not need to sign on for j.s.a for this reason.
i feel cl. can stop signing on for j.s.a because there is no need, she will receive w.p until she reaches 60, and has full n.i cont. record.
only loss could be 50 + element of w.t.c if she chose to work between now and reaching 60, but cl. feels she does not want to work.
am i right ?

well, hope everybody has had good start to the week, and that i haven't offended any person ?

as ever.

Hi pete

I'd guess it's more of a universal "search me" moment than a deliberate decision to ignore you - I hope!

pete - can't recall the headings of forecast information without one in front of me is the reason... : ) the only thing to watch out for is that the full basic rate is already earned and isn't based on continuing to pay until 60. if it's already in the bag (there are usually 4 or 5 years to play with over 'working life') there should be no problem.
