Default Re: six expressions

tdol, thank you. I have three questions.

5 pension size- how much you are paid

I'd like to know how to use 'pension size'.
For example, when elderly people can get less money than those could get before, pension size is shrinking / going down / decreasing / getting low / lowering .
Is there any problem among the above five expressions?

6 they don't fulfill their potential

Can this be replaced with 'they don't make full use of their potential'?
Also the opposite meaning of this is 'they work beyond their ability'.
Is this correct?

Thank you in advance.
