That was the impression I got at the time.

As to why you have more than the 'maximum' - crudely I think, there is the new standard pension amount which will be reduced for your contracted out years, but can be increased for any Additional State Pension (SERPS and/or State Second Pension) element earned when you were not contracted out.

The net of that in my case was that I received about £20 a week less than the new state pension, which is currently £175.20 per week.
