That's what I am concerned about - namely that as I (and many like me) are not yet drawing our pensions, we will suddenly find the rug pulled out from under us just before we are about to start drawing it.

I'm hoping that the change from AFPS 75 to 05 will be enough to keep thm happy and leave those of us on the 75 scheme to get the benefits we have signed up to and worked for. Given the current state of the country, economy and the general contempt with which we are held by the politicians, I'm getting increasingly worried every time the Tories say anything about pensions.

What's the betting that any move by a future govt to degrade the AFPS 75 scheme prompts a flurry of people leaving in order to draw their benefits before they are lost
