trawlermen's pensions

[phil dean]

My father in law mentioned that he'd heard something on the news about the trawlermen's pensions. He's not sure of any more, but as an exx trawlerman he is interested, does anyone know anything about this.

It is in the Edinburgh evening news tonight about it. Education Secretary Alan Johnston mp for Hull contacted Norwich Union about the trawlermen who paid into pension schemes in the 60s and 70s it say's Norwich Union is to employ a specialist tracing agency to find hundreds of ex-fishermen who paid into it.

I have spoken to the Norwich Union about it last week and all you need is the National insurance number and Date of Birth of the person who is trying to claim,and they said they would get back to you within a fortnight,spoken to a few Ex Aberdeen Trawlermen who have had as much as three and a half grand so its got to be worth a try !!£££
