| Interesting. How come you have never met anyone who has had their pension paid under these rules? Do the rules not work well?
Has anybody here met anyone who has had their pension paid under these rules? | |

This is because people retiring at present are still doing so under the old rules, where by they get partial pensions from different EU countries where they have made contributions e.g. Ittigen who replied to your query.
There is no indication on the descriptions given on the websites as to when and how the new rules are being applied and more importantly how voluntary contributions will be handled... for instance if you make a voluntary contribution to the UK or Ireland during a period when you are also contributing to one of the other countries will it in fact count for anything?
That is why I'm interested in hearing about someone who has received a pension under the new rules...
Good luck with that,
Jim.
