Current pensions system 'would baffle Einstein'

The current state pensions system "would baffle Albert Einstein", the Pensions Minister has said as figures showed that some pensioners are receiving at least £200 a week more than others.

Huge differences in the "pensions roulette" system, which could add up to £10,000 a year, are occurring because the level of basic and additional state pension payouts can widely vary under the "complex" system of regulations, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said.
