i believe they are wrong, as from April you are No longer allowed to take your pension until 55, so presume you are no longer protected until 55.
As far as pensionable allowances are concerned I think they can freeze them and just pay you it in your final year thus on paper protecting your pensioable pay. I am sure there will be someone on here who knows if this is so.
