Count yourself Lucky. I was refused a buy down. Only to reduce my hours with no payment what so ever. :sad:

Thanks for the replies, seems like another RM grey area as to whether people get a buydown or not, I'd not considered the pension implications either, I suppose its not worth halving your pension for the sake of a couple of grand now.
