Capita and the civil service pension

Aibu to think this is a conscious decision to encourage civil servants to turn to hard drinking and cigarettes as a retirement plan?

The system and customer service are so so so so so bad. I have no idea if my pension still exists at the moment. Retired friends are not receiving any money (the solution is for their old departments to give them a loan repayable within THIRTY DAYS of the first drawdown of their pension if capita ever finds it).

Unbearable, awful, embarrassing.

Capita also run Teacher Pensions. There's a group taking legal action against them because of how horrendous they have been. Sorry to hear it's the same if you're in the CS.

And minimum wage call centre staff treated like shit by capita are understandably not that fussed about the bad situation a lot of civil servants are now in.
