If you're 40 or so, then yes - your new civvy pension will change (benefits from 57 for instance).

But this budget affects everyone. Even a 70 year old who annuitised last week and who now must be distraught. Just the other week we had (still do have) the issue of lifetime allowance protection, then along came partners state pension entitlement (the raison d'etre of this thread) and now, changes to the entire pension landscape.

Forgive the gratuitous link to my blog but this is a very fluid picture still. In the first instance, make sure you've at least considered earmarking or staking a claim for your allowances (ISA, pension etc) for this year. Once they've gone they've gone - the benefits of the pension in particular is potentially now far greater than it was a few days ago.
