I arrived back home on Wednesday after being away for six months. Slowly been working my way through the snail mail.
I received a coding notice from the HM Revenue & Customs stating that my Civil Service widows and dependants pension will be taxed at the basic rate.
I've never had a widows pension, I don't suppose many men do but in this day and age anything can happen. :)
With all the modern technology how can they foul up like this. Maybe a phone call on Tuesday will sort it out.

I don't think HM Revenue & Customs would send you an e-mail, they would send you an official letter. I suspect this is a phishing e-mail.
