They are not asking you to suspend the retirement, what they want is to make sure you are aware your pension could be reduced to the amount given in the letter you received from CSPF in October. If for some reason you didn't get a letter I would be contacting them for another copy, it spells out exactly the amount they are proposing to cut your pension.

I retired early in the summer and although I didn't receive a notice exactly like yours they gave me enough warnings the pension would be reduced in the future.
