I've just done a state pension forecast for myself and my wife.
I'm forecast £164 and COPE figure of £30.
She's forecast £155 and COPE figure of £20.
We've both been contacted out for just a few years but no figures.
Searching the internet has confused me, as there is arguments both ways as to whether COPE is taken off pension forecast figure or not.
Anyone in the know give me a definitive answer please?
Also why my wife's forecast is lower as she has full NI contributions and lower COPE figure suggests less time that I had contacted out.
Thanks for any info.
