    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I believe you need a complete year's record for that year to count towards the pension. If DWP offer you 15 weeks of class 3 and 37 weeks of class 2 for a year and you only pay the 37 weeks of class 2 then AFAIK that year will not be counted to your pension. DWP only worries about whole years...

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I am unaware if there is a threshold. From my own experience I had to pay class 3 for short periods of unemployment. I have worked a minimum of 7 months of every UK tax year since moving to Australia.

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I would be surprised if there is one. I am not even sure if you can change from 3 to 2 unless you qualified for class 2 at the time you moved to Australia. This question is beyond my pay grade.

    Article: Why is Dynamic Currency Conversion Even Legal?

    I spent a month in Spain in November / December last year. DCC was the default on most machines but generally the vendor pressed EUR before passing the machine for my PIN although I was a bit sceptical at first. Some allowed me to select EUR. In over 150 transactions I was not a victim of DCC...

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    Class 2 should be automatic going forward - you don't have to keep reapplying. Of course if your circumstances change, for example you stop working, then you should notify DWP and they will change you to class 3 going forward.

    So US markets flat to small losses after Trump backed down / compromised / got his way (choose your interpretation) and Aussie futures market pointing to a small rise today. I don't know which way markets are heading during Trump 2.0 but if he continues to rule by executive order then I...

    So the ASX finished 1.80% down. Is that the worst of it or only the beginning? Who knows? I don't.

    I am expecting a fall tomorrow and probably by a lot. Mrs SS today cancelled a short business trip to the US and Canada for April due to the uncertainty.

    ASX flat or slightly positive now. Australia's economy is built on real intelligence rather than the 'artificial' stuff.
