what if you just miss out though, and who is to say they won't adjust the amount of pension credit in the future so more people are dragged into the net?

Ah, I thought pension credit was basically what you got instead of a state pension if your private pension was not above state pension levels.

Well I guess that could be an issue.

Either way..should not be there for anywone, nevermind just letting pensioners off with it.
