I don't see this as being any different They seem to be able to amend and adjust to suit SE. Any mention of altering the T&C's of government pensions however are met with howls of derision 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where Wrighty is coming from but contracts and terms and conditions can be re-written. They’ve done it on state pensions often enough they just dint like doing it on their own. Problem there is SoS is that there has to be an appetite to tackle the problem. Given this will affect the very people who need to re-write the T&C's means it isn't very likely to happen any time soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The civil servants have a contract detailing the benefits of their employment and pension The state pensioners don’t have a contract and we just get what the going rate is I don’t see the problem and the bitching is just laughable edit to add that all I will get is a reduced state pension Edited June 25, 2018 by dilligaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do but told It is not enough to get a full pension I think we bought back a couple of years worth, but not enough I think looking back, I cocked up working self employed for a while too so that may have been the major factor in reducing the pension entitlement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
