Hi to all i have supported this site for many years now and found all the information i have read useful so despite now being retired i will go on supporting. This time i have a question for my self, i was 65 in April this year i am currently on ESA and have received a letter from the the government to apply for my pension . There is a small section in the letter that states i can postpone applying if i am receiving benefits as i may be getting more money. Does or has anyone done this before and how long can your official government pension be postponed for? I can't really find any information on here regarding this. Gordon may have the answers i'm hoping. Regards Ray
