Od kilku miesięcy w rządzie brytyjskim toczą się dyskusje na temat zryczałtowania emerytur. Przewiduje się, że stała weekly rate of pension will be about £ 155th It will replace the current method of calculation based on earnings.
new system will not cover people who have already retired, it will take effect from 2015 or 2016. Currently pensioners receive £ 97.65 a week state pension, and those who should be a pension supplement £ 132.60 week. After zryczałtowaniu, the rate would be £ 140, as a result of inflation will give us £ 155th
"The new generation of retirees is faced with a completely different reality" - admitted Steve Webb, Minister of Social Affairs and Pensions. "They will work for much longer, their retirement period will be longer and generally do not receive benefits based on earnings, just like their parents. We therefore need a much simpler and clearer rules, as a growing number of future retirees will be forced to save funds on account of their future retirement "- he added the minister.
Social Security Minister Ian Duncan-Smith announced that in 2020 the retirement age for both men and women will increase to 66 years - the law of the Union European Union, require the same threshold age for both sexes.
Formal confirmation of the plan forfaitisation retirement took place on March 23 this year. along with the announcement of the budget of the Ministry of the Treasury, George Osborne in 2011, the Minister pointed out that the flat rate pension will concern future retirees, not the millions of members present. government's aim is to simplify the pension system. planned reform will necessarily destroy the second pillar state pension (state second pension ), although so far the second pillar contributions paid before the change will continue to be recognized.
Under the current system based on revenues, couples with a national minimum wage receive a pension allowance £ 202.40 per week (£ 132.60 for single people). Patrick Bloomfield, an expert retirement benefits with HYMANS Robertson said: "The main reason for the introduction of the new system there are errors in the verification of a person's actual earnings in the current system. Therefore, the benefits do not reach those who really need them. In addition, the current system discouraged a generation of people to save for their future, giving them to understand that the money saved to replace benefits that are set to have received from the state. "
Changing the system would be beneficial, because it does not allow, for example, to such situations, have taken place so far, namely, more than half a million pensioners do not receive the retirement allowance due to them, simply because it did not submit a proposal. It is doubtful, however, that the benefits achieved by the flat-rate pension, compensated for the alleged injustice and lack of distinction between richer and poorer sections of society.
