There must be lots of others in this situation. It's just another way of being visible. The website for that is: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ George, did you try an e-petition to 10 Downing Street.

I cannot seem to get support from any groups or papers of this injustice. I have been told by MP's to wait till I retire and complain...what an attitude.

Unfortunately there's no penalty for them if something they do is unfair to 'their customers'.

The new law that starts april 6th 2010 does a huge misjustice to older pensioners. I retire one day earlier than april 6th and have only 20 years service so I get 20 years of 44 years (which is standard) but if I retire one day later that this date I get 20 years of 30 which will be standard that's a 25% difference in money because the government decided to draw a line in the sand. Is that a fair and equitable situation. It is just another way of screwing the pensioners in a country that spends a great deal of it's time bragging about helping foreign countries get what they deserve.

Perhaps another visitor to this post may know of one and can give details. I did a little searching, Roger, but couldn’t find one.
