    These are quite substantial drops in reductions (1.6% difference at 7 yrs). These are calculated by the Government Actuary's Department so similar changes should be seen with Civil Service pensions like alpha. 
    That will be nice for me as I intend to get next April at 57 and 9 months, hopefully the revised Classic/Alpha tables will be released soon.
    Mortgage free!
    Debt free!

    And now I am retired - all the time in the world!!
