Are there any Retired Police officers out there under the age of 65 who believe that they should not have to pay 8% of their Police pensions to the CMU since their E106s have expired. The point being we did not CHOOSE to retire but were contracted to 30 years service OR 55 years of age. UK legislation lumps all expats under 65 in the same boat which clearly we are not! The UK GOVT. recognises this fact by exempting us from NI contributions should you remain in the UK; this is  duly reflected in a modified UK State Pension  you receive at 65. The Govt recognises it is precisely the nature of this job that  allows you to retire before 65. I believe it is discriminatory not to allow us the same entitlement as those in receipt of E121s to which the UK pay the French a levy. We are EU citizens living in an EU country & should not be 'dumped' into a  category that includes people under 65 who do no want to work or chose to retire.  Bob
