Jacyn, if your father was a rating when did he finish with the sea.? The MNRPF didn't start until 1978 so if he left before then he would be entitled to nothing unless he was with a company that had its own ratings fund and I don't think there were many of them.

Alec.

That's interesting to know, thanks, Alec. See, part of the trouble is I have no idea when he left the sea. The records I have stop at 1972 and I can't find anything beyond that year. I've never met him and all I have are odds and sods of information. It's worse than looking for a needle in a haystack!

MNRPF started later but there was a ratings pension before that. I used to contribute but when I joined BP I got a letter about 10 years later stating that as I had not made any payments for 10 years and I only had less than two years contributions it would be refunded.

Hiya Keith,
I only got back from Corfu a couple of days ago so it wasn't me in the Park Inn. I did use it years ago but it is too expensive for me these days. I use the Funkey Monkey these days but only in the afternoons, I never go out in the evenings nowadays. Cheapest pub in Dover just alongside the underpass to the seafront. I shall be in there Tuesday afternoon around 1 pm. if you are still about.

Alec.

I was receiving my MNOPF pension up to September 2021. Then for no known reason the payments stopped. To make matters worse I cannot get a reason from MNOPF for this stoppage. To date they will not respond to my e-mails. Because of this I requested they send to me an IDRF stage 1 form to allow me to take the matter up with the pension trustees as a formal complaint. However to date they have ignored this request as well. Its now looking like I will have to take my case to the Ombudsman.

[Rodney Mills]

A Briton or someone who paid into the UK system can receive his/her pension in the USA, UK tax exempt, this is because of a reciprocal tax agreement, so likewise a US citizen or someone who has paid into the US system residing in the UK, receive his/her US pension, US tax exempt.

Cheers, Rodney

[Rodney Mills]

More to above, plus both countries. Increases to pensions are also recognized.

Unlike here in Oz where the UK pension stays the same from the date you first draw it.
But not considered for taxation as was taxed at source.

If you draw a superannuation pension or state pension or even both then for every dollar you receive on UK pensions takes 50 cents off state one.

#16. William if you don’t acknowledge any mail from them as to your well being , they will stop I believe on the assumption you are dead. I get correspondence from them more frequent these days just to confirm I am still alive and kicking. I keep on telling them they will be told when I am no longer available through my solicitors . I took an early pension as the salary I was getting at the time was insufficient for me to survive at the time, and was a lifesaver , however what I get from the mnopf is not a large pension, so they must be counting the pennies.

Try sending them a letter and get a JP to sign it as being authentic that will cause them to wake up JS .
