Pension question again
I am perplexed, doesn’t take much 🤣 How come every site I have visited even Age UK say I can apply for my SP 4 months prior to my Birthday but when I try on the Gov website it informs me it’s too early ? Is it 3 months on the Gov site but 4 months if I ring the pension line ? I can’t figure it out. Thanks for any info 😀
