Penfriend

The newsletter for members who are already taking their pension.

What's inside?

Catch up with the latest Scheme and pension news, learn more about topics that could impact your retirement, and share stories with your fellow members.

Regular features include information about pension payment dates, the annual pension increase and any tax changes that may affect you as a retired member of the Scheme.

You can read or download the latest edition of Penfriend below, along with copies from the past few years.

If you prefer to get paper copies, through the post, you'll need to tell us (if you haven’t already). You can find out how to do that on the communications preferences page. If you’re over 75 you will continue to get Penfriend in the post automatically and do not need to request one.

If you have any suggestions for what you would like to see in Penfriend, or have any questions about the newsletter, please email penfriend@railpen.com
