With effect from Tuesday 1st January 2008 the weekly subscription to the Federation Voluntary Fund, effectively for the layman your subscription to the PFEW, will increase from £3.81p to £3.93p per week.

The deduction from your pay each calender month will therefore increase from the current rate of £16.51 to £17.03p

Thats the bad news, the good news is that with effect from the same day the amount of death benefit payable under Federation Fund rules will increase by £80 from the current £2570 to £2650
