Finding out about your pension

LRD's latest booklet is a complete guide to pensions. It includes information on the state scheme as well as on occupational pensions and on the new stakeholder pension scheme, which will operate from next month.

Finding out about your pension takes the reader through the various types of pension now available, and explains the pitfalls and advantages of each type to help trade unionists decide what is the most appropriate pension provision for them.

The booklet also contains a useful section explaining, in straightforward language, what terms like "annuities" and "defined contribution schemes" mean.

Finding out about your pension is available from LRD, 78 Blackfriars Road, London SE1 8HF, price pst3.30. To pay by credit card or for details of bulk orders contact 020 7928 3649.
