Big congratulations to @torstenbell.bsky.social on his meteoric rise to Ministerial office! He will bring a lot of expertise to the brief which will help him to get up and running quickly. Even so, don't under-estimate the challenge of becoming a Minister for the first time, esp in 2 Departments!

If you are on UC and taking your works pension would come off your UC, do you have to take it or can you defer? My column this week: www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensio...
If I take an NHS pension at age 60 will it affect my Universal Credit?
