Over-generous is a polite way of putting it.

Does that apply to any pensions, or just public service ones?


All earned income and guaranteed income should be treated the same.
The NHS doesn't suddenly cost less than £150 Billion per year
just because someone reaches state pension age and immediately
stops being liable to NI (also their employer)
