Pension increase

Yes it has increased by 5.2%
However from a person who has a relative who was a sqd Ldr on departure of RAF on salary of £55K so 2/3rds pension before increase was £701 per week and now £741 per week which he is fully intitled too and earned over the years, it makes me feel a liitle ill to think people are actually complaining when this is the sort of money they can achieve! I understand for the lower ranks, but if any of these former officers on such salarys are complaining then they need to live in the real world! My other relative who also has worked hard all her life has retired on a pension from the NHS of only £360 A MONTH, yes a MONTH!
So get real you officer types!
