PCS have been made aware of an e-petition on the government’s change to the uprating of pensions from RPI to CPI, which has recently been made available on the Directgov web-site:
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/1535
You may be aware that PCS are currently challenging this change by Judicial Review and the case is due to be heard in the High Court later this year. Should the site receive 100K responses it will result in the matter being debated by Parliament, which may assist our challenge.
This change to the uprating mechanism from Retail Price Index (RPI) to Consumer Price Index (CPI) would yet again see a significant reduction in the final value of pensions.
Please sign the petition.
