Rafael Topic creator Posts: 2	I have just been informed that I apparently owe the Inland Revenue approximately £600 for previous tax years even though I only just recently paid back several hundred pounds AND I have continued to pay tax out of my pensions. How can they do this to people on meager pensions? Inland Revenue always finds a way of telling us we owe money when I am sure this time I don’t, any idea?

Is it necessary to send medical forms to the pensions office? Possible to recontract back into Serps pension? What is a pension protection lump sum death benefit? Are companies able to raid companies’ pensions and steal from its employees?

A lot of the time one person tells you one thing and then you have no proof of this later on. In writing at least when they reply you have evidence that they told you this and that!
