State pension is a benefit.

Yes it is but many pensioners will argue the toss its not and that they have worked all their lives for it etc. The fact you can have contributory benefits is something a lot of people over 65 cant grasp.

Yes, it was how I got my mother's NI number recently when dealing with her stuff.

The solicitor nonchalantly said "NI number will be on the bank statement against Pension payments"

Yes, I had looked everywhere else!!

I would argue that it is not a "benefit" supplied by a benevolent government but something I have paid for. The fact that they squandered the money I paid should not enter into it. Perhaps this is a subject best left to the dark side.
