I am 59 years old and was anticipating that in 7 years I could retire and claim my state pension on my husbands N.I contributions.
I have heard that the rules have now changed and I could end up with little or no pension at all.
I worked full time before I got married but that was 40 years ago...
I worked part time in between having the children, caring for my parents and now the grandchildren..
I work 16 hours now a week but I shall never be in a position to have enough NI contributions of my own and no funds to top it up.
I have Fibromyalgia and a fair few other health issues and struggle sometimes at work ...I really enjoy my job but don't think I could physically continue into my 70s..
My husband is a year younger than me so will retire later than me,
I am so confused with this pension rules and don't understand it all.
Any advise would be helpful
