wub,
Are you sure it is £159 or is there some killer small print lower down?
The headline rate looks great, but I actually only get £122 - because we were contracted out. So, as I understand it, i am £37pw worse off in my state pension by being contracted out but £101pw (the COPE) better in my workplace pension than that would have been had we been contracted in.
But yes, whatever figure is on the forecast is paid by the state at whatever age you need to be to get it - for me it is 66.
