Act now to protect your pension - lobby your MP
As you may know, John Hutton reported to the Government on 7 October on the future of public sector pensions. He believes that public sector workers must pay more towards their pensions and that pension schemes should be "reformed" in other ways which would significantly cut your pension entitlement at retirement.
The Government is already proposing other pension cuts by linking your pension to CPI inflation rather than RPI inflation. That will cut many thousands of pounds from your retirement income. A retired teacher on a £10,000 pension would lose over £35,000 over the course of the average retirement, while a serving teacher who retires on a £20,000 pension would lose over £70,000.
