Background and Format:The Association of Pension & Benefits Claimants (the ABC) is an association that aims to provide people receiving state pension and benefits with the knowledge and resources needed to secure meaningful employment. The ABC strives to ensure that people receiving welfare are well-informed and know what they are entitled to under the welfare system. The site is a news service, not a blog. Members are not only those on state pensions and state benefits, but also those in work or self-employment who want to see that their National Insurance Contributions are spent productively, and that should their own circumstances change - that the money that they have invested in this mandatory scheme is available to act as safety-net and where the scheme they have funded over the years - an adequate basic state pension - is provided later in life.
