Margaret-Ann Reynard had to stop work aged 35.
Retirement age for women is 60
£627,730 = £25,109 / year for 25 years
Which considering
A newly qualified Midwife can expect a starting salary of around £17,600 per annum and could reach around £48,185 after five years of experience
isn't really very much.
The Government's Actuaries Department, which produces official life and death-rate statistics, calculated that a male baby born in 1991 is estimated to have a lifespan of 73.2 years (78.8 for women). This is up from 66.1 (70.9 for women) in 1951 and 50.4 (53.9 for women) in 1911. By 2031 average lifespan is projected to be 79.3 for men and 83.5 for women. However, the average man who had survived to age 60 in 1991 is likely to die aged 77.7 (81.9 for women), rising to 82.5 (85.7 for women) by 2031.
Margaret-Ann Reynard can expect to live for approximately 43.5 years.
£397,304 = £9165/year
Which considering
The judge said: "She remains in pain almost constantly and on bad days that pain confines her to bed. There is no realistic prospect of alleviation of her condition.
is probably not that much either.
