state pension deferred payment
« on: August 11, 2010, 08:47:33 PM »
Has anyone had experience of deferring state pension. I defered my state pension for 2 years, I have retired this year. I have recieved a letter from the state pensions dept telling me that I have a choice of taking increased weekly pension or taking the lump sum.  I am unsure which option I should take, has anyone got an opinion that may help me to decide please? :-\

Only if you've got it.
