Are there any others out there who have found themselves in this situation, or has anyone been able to appeal and change their pension?
Thanks
Same here. At the time I was given the choice I had to work on the worst case scenario: being out of a job 2 years later. If I had changed and not been offered PA then come retirement in '08 I would've been up creek without a paddle.

You win some, you lose some. If I could change now then I'd break their arm off.
