MyCSP, Capita and retirement modeller

indiasign

Hi everyone, my wife and I (59 and 61 respectively) are both civil servants looking to take early retirement next May, but now I’m starting to get worried about they delays being caused by the MyCSP strikes and the proposed transfer to Capita.

We’ll have another 5 years to wait before my State Pension kicks in, and we have enough in savings to bridge that gap, so a delay of a few months or so won’t be the end of the world, but the amount of cover we require from savings is based on the figures from the retirement modeller, so I’m also concerned whether they are accurate.

Ive been checking them regularly, and they’ve stayed pretty much the same, other than yearly adjustments, so am I worrying unnecessarily?
