OK lets say hypothetically I was 55 in 6 weeks time. How soon before that date would you expect to be informed of any changes to the amount you recieve?

IIRC it was about a month before the change came through. My original pension, before reduction for commutation, was increased by 48.83% (Nice!!!). The folks at SVPA are very helpful on giving you advice about this.

Then in a few short years i will look forwards to giving away another 40% of my pension increase to a thieving lying, useless government, so that they can pi$s it all up to wall on whatever whim takes their fancy in order to secure them votes.

49.04% last Sept ended up with 2.5 x what I was getting before.
