I think the "Way Forward" agreement should help you get an answer on that.

Pay protection is covered in the "Managing the surplus framework", if you lose allowances as a result of a business driven change then you are entitled to have that element of your pay protected for a stated period of time.

This varies on length of time you've received the allowance, what age you are, whether the allowance is pensionable.

Ask your rep to find a copy of the MTSF agreement, it was amended last year so make sure you've got the right one.

It's on the CWU website, and there is a link from this site in the Downloads sction - but you need your CWU membership no and password.
