KEY CHANGES ANNOUNCED TODAY Mr Alexander said the key changes to the schemes were: - Civil service - the Government said it had agreed to revalue each year's contribution by CPI inflation rather than earnings, allowing an accrual rate of 1/44ths to be offered. This costs the same as the original offer, but with a configuration preferred by the trades unions. As a consequence, the new scheme will be very similar to the scheme already available within the civil service, except that in future the normal pension age will be linked to the state pension age as it rises; - The Local Government Association and the unions have agreed that the pension age in the new scheme wil…
