According to the above, Synstar was taken over by HP in 2004.

Computerworld UK understands the new agreement adresses some of the employee concerns around the potential scrapping of a £2,000 performance bonus scheme and a final salary pension. But neither HP nor the Unite trade union gave details of the discussions, and it is not known what decisions on benefits were made.

The employees involved, who work remotely, were transferred on 1 November into the HP CDS business that was formed from the acquisition of Synstar in 2004.

When you left Synstar, were you given any form of statement concerning deferred benefits?

You might try the HP Scheme administrators?

If you were in a DB Scheme it is likely that you were contracted out for the years in question.

Have you obtained a State Pension Forecast?
