Lots of Pension Schemes affected
Not just my pension scheme is affected... some other small schemes also affected: Teachers Pensions, NHS Pensions
(https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/employer-hub/pensions-online: "Service disruption. We are sorry for the continuing disruption to our services and for any inconvenience this may be causing. We are hoping to have our systems available by noon on Friday so please try again at this time. Until then contact centre staff will, regrettably, be unable to assist with requests that require system access. Thank you for your patience.")... it's Sunday 28 May now...
good thing it's a long bank holiday weekend... an extra day to get the rubber bands and sticking plasters in place.
