    Treason coming from a man who served Queen and Country.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    [h=2]Transsexual people[/h] Your State Pension might be affected if you’re transsexual and you:

    I wouldn't worry about it mate, you were born after 1945, you should be fine.

    It's making sense now - all you have to do is get your baws cut off and you can claim the pension 5 years earlier. Result <ok>

    None. Actuarial calculations are based upon a certain age being reached, you are far too young and are likely to live for more than 10 years, hence they would lose money on you.

    I used to work in pensions and i've never heard of that. The only way you can get money out is by transferring it to another scheme, 50 is about the earliest you can take a pension unless you retire through ill health.

    You can cash in your pension/s when you are 55.

    Sorry, no. I have quite a number of work related pensions and in 18 years time I will be able to cash them in.

    I think they were supposed to stop giving any money to England, Northern Ireland and Wales between now and September 2014 in order to make Scots vote no.
