    Pension changes approved by Tynwald

    Tynwald's given the go ahead for the new Manx state pension.

    People will need to clock up 35 years of National Insurance contributions on the Isle of Man to qualify for the new single-tier pension.

    The new rules will only apply to those who turn 66 after Friday, April 6 and the full amount will be around £180 per week.

    Treasury Minister Alf Cannan says the aim is to provide a simple pension that everyone can understand.
