The state pension should double to give retired people any hope of living comfortably, according to Friends Provident.

Pensions campaigner Dr Ros Altmann has called for the introduction of a National Wealth Service with free financial advice health checks to keep savers on the right track.

Women hoping to buy-back missed state pension contributions are facing a 50% price hike in April, it has been revealed.

A total of 40% of pensioner couples had a private pension income below £1,000 from 2005 to 2006, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Cash and shares ISAs are "a waste of time", according to Premier Wealth Management.

The UK's state pension ranks the worst in Europe, according to research by employee benefit consultant Aon Consulting.
