For most of us, at some point in our life, we will receive a Service Pension and, as some of you may be aware, the Government changed the way inflation affects that pension by moving us from RPI to CPI; clearly a cost cutting action. The long and short of it is basically your pension will increase by up to 1.5% less each year.
In the recent Forces Pension Society newsletter, there was a link to an e-petition raised by a Civil Servant, that should it get 100,000 signatures, will force the RPI to CPI decision to be debated in Parliament.
Now whether or not this e-petition will prove to be successful is another question, but unless we all try we'll never know.
If you'd like to add your name to the e-petition, please see the link below.
