12th April 2018
I had to call the pension provider to find out why my payment was less than last month. They told me it was due to an emergency tax code that I had been placed on. I had received notification of my new code, but not paid much attention to it before. I noticed that it was set at the forty percent level, so I called them. A pleasant Indian lady listened to my question, clicked around and said that it was based on my HM salary plus my pension, which was an enormous amount that I would have been happy to pay a high rate on. I explained the correct situation, and she adjusted it down to pauper level, and told me I should get an adjustment on my next payment, so I will be down to sucking steam & eating baked beans for the rest of the month.
