MPs want to hear from BHS pensioners
A group of MPs called the Work and Pensions Committee are interested in hearing from BHS pensioners. In particular, they would like to hear from people who have faced cuts to their BHS pension. They would like people to answer one or more of the following questions:
• What has happened to your BHS pension?
• What effect has any cut had on your family finances?
• How has the state of the BHS pension scheme affected your planning for the future?
Your comments will inform the work of the Committee.
