soldier. Sorry I am not very informed on pensions but there are a few members on here who are. I will therefore move your post to our Pensions forum.

Don't forget to check the rules out at http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/forum/rules.php and of course enjoy yourself.

if you take your pension at 50 you will get 50% of what you would get at 60 now every year that go by you get 5% more so that at 55 you would get 75% also if you take your pension before 55 you will not get any index linked rise each year till you reach 55
