TWO TIER PENSION SYSTEM

Back to all Motions

Conference
2016 National Retired Members Conference
Date
14 June 2016
Decision
Carried

Conference notes the two tier pension system that came into effect in April 2016 following the introduction of the new state pension (as discussed at Conference 2015 and embodied in Motion 5 as passed). Conference 2015 instructed the National Retired Members Committee, and called on the National Executive Council, to campaign to right this injustice.

Our retired members section has seen no evidence of this campaign and we call again on the National Retired Members Committee to initiate this campaign, linking with AGE UK, National Pensioners Convention and other organisations who are working to try to get this anomaly in pensions righted.
