Not sure if it's already been mentioned or in the RMT Strike notes.
Having read the (unofficial??) proposed changes to the RPS that says they will be putting up the retirement age for non protected staff from 62 to 65 from February 2023, and that new starters without previously being a member of the RPS can't join for two years.
As a non protected staff member I was looking at retiring or going P/T and rejoining the pension scheme at 62 so these proposals are obviously worrying for me.
I did speak to RPS today regarding this and they claim that the 65 retirement age would only apply to new starters. Not sure if you would be able to rejoin the pension scheme if you did take your pension at 62 & went P/T.
