Tanya Jefferies, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss and reveal the common reasons why you might not receive the full state pension.

Sticking with the pension theme, we talk through a case of an ex-Judge who faced a hefty ‘advice’ fee when he made a decision on a drawdown pot.

Spain is still the top choice for those planning to retire overseas – but has the pandemic and Brexit put more people off a life in the sun?
