Pension Raid

[clashcityrocker]

It is a disgrace that all this has been decided behind our backs basically - with the actual members having no say in this carve up.
We contributed to the RMPP as well as RM from our wages so it is only right we get a fair share of this surplus.

Why?
You get your pension.

Do you not understand?
You pay into your pension and you get your pension.

I don't understand this moral outrage that we are entitled to anything more because the fund is in surplus.
You were never promised anything more.
Why do you feel entitled to anything more?

CWU happy clapper pitbull in full morally superior attack mode i see !

It is just as much our money as RM.
We are entitled because we paid into the pension fund so why should we not get a fair share.
I will not reply any more with you as you are clearly looking for a argument - as is normal with your posts.

The pension scheme was wrongly closed early, that's why, we now have inferior benefits.

For anyone interested in the latest on this – the Dept. for Work and Pensions have opened a consultation on the regulations associated with the release of surplus DB pension funds.

Scheme members as well as employers, are being mentioned in relation to receiving a share of available cash.

The regulations aren't due to 'go live' until April 2027.

Hi.. is there saying how much the,sum will be for its members.. I took my pension this,year.. im 55..

There's a few questions to be asked before that one!

1. How much is the surplus?
2. How much of it will be released?
3. Will the members actually get any?
4. If they do, who will be eligible and what are the qualifying details?
