So I don't have to agree it's a good choice

Everyone has had their personal allowance frozen and it’s frozen for some time so there is no option to escape paying tax on the increase you are given. Would you rather have no increase just so you avoid paying any tax?

8.9% Company pension rise after around a 8% re adjustment rise back in feb

You mean your particular pension went up?

Lucky you.

Do you mean it is a pension in payment, or do you mean it is a revised projection of future payout, or do you mean it is a change in transfer value, or do you mean it is a revised valuation of a money purchase scheme?

Very lucky. Perhaps it has inflation-proofing or discretionary rises built into the scheme. Not many people have such benefits. Did you have a strong Union?
