I do find it very ironical that people are being pushed into private pensions when theyve been paying their NHS stamp all their liVes... Am I going daft but I thought that subscrpition was supposed to provide you with a reasonable pension for when you retire... 
At the end of the day it was a part pension fund so if it aint gonna be able to cope with the amount of claimants surely we should have some comeback against the governments for the miss handling of it! 
Why should you have to subscribe to more than one pension anyway? I've got two froZen civil service pensions, Gawd knows what they will make when Im sixty odd.. But I probably won't care anyway, Im selling up and fuckin off somewhere hot !
And by the by most private pensions aint worth a bean unless you can afford to pay out huge amounts in subscriptions every month..
Buy property, invest in some healthy stocks and shares and sit on em for forty years and youll be laughing... Plus you can draw on the cash when you need it not when some clause in a pension fund allows you to!
