    You have dont have a shortfall of £7,000. You have projections that indicate a shortfall if certain growth rates are achieved and zero terminal bonus is payable. That currently is not the case and real position is likely (although not guaranteed) to be a lot better than that. Currently Pru have a 100% record on hitting target and the average surplus in 2006 was £3300 which was £1100 higher than the 2005 average surplus.

    The redress method is calculated using a defined process and unless you have reason to believe the figures input are wrong, then the outcome should be correct.
