Time to move on

Post by stephen500 »

Right friends, tomorrow pending in my bank account is the final payment I will receive from Royal Mail, my pension advice money, which I should have received last month. So it has taken about 3 and half months after leaving, just slightly longer than advertised.
Aside from my regular monthly pension payments, that's it.
As I have prevously said, for me I got the ball rolling 6 months before I wanted my pension and every thing came into time, bar the pension advice money, which was nearly spot on.
So there is not much more to add.
So I will take my leave.
If any one has a particular question about the process of applying for a RMSPS/RMPP/DBCBS just send me a private message and I will check that from time to time.
Apart from that it's time to move on, I have a life to lead.... eventully covid permitting (I have had my first jab!)
I hope all goes well, pension and life wise for you all!

Good luck mate, don't be a stranger.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Good luck mate, I might be picking your brains from time to time (to stop you getting bored with nothing to do!) as I'm waiting for my final figures and having just gone through the process yourself you seem to know your way around the RM pension minefield. But for now I'll let you get back to "Homes under the hammer", and get yourself yet another brew.
