Hi
What happens to pensions that have been frozen , like if you've left royal mail or come out of the pension plan and froze pension, will these proposals effect all these ?

Holly to the best of my knowledge, once you are a "deferred member" you only accrue APR , all your previous is frozen in what ever scheme you were in at the time hope that helps :wave :wave

No. All pensions up to April 2018 are unchanged. Its only RM pensions after that are affected.

Effectively come April our pensions are also frozen/deferred.
