Did you know that all pensioners (approx 11 million to date) were born on a Monday?
Well not really, but according to the DWP and Government Departments, Monday is the ONLY day on which they will register you for a pension.
If for example your birthday falls on a Tuesday, your pension will not commence until the following Monday!
This in effect means that the average pension bill for the Government will be significantly lower than it would otherwise be.
To you of course it's only 50 quid but collectively it adds up to a tidy sum! 11 million x an average of 3 days = 55 million pounds that they save!
Actually you do get it back later.
When you die they continue to pay until the next 'Monday' after your demise - Enjoy trying to spend it when your dead!
Lobby your local MP to remedy this invidious Government sponsored robbery.
