Don't see why not - as I read it, basically whatever you have accrued and the rights that go with it remain the same until the switch to the new scheme. This means that you can draw your IP from...

If they do decide to tax gratuities, they may well find that their tax take isn't quite as much as they anticipate if such a measure is extended to all gratuities rather than those earning say over...

I'm just wondering if they will eventually raise the retirement age from 55 - 60. I know the military is a young man's game, but with the move to retiring later and the constant encouragement to...

Harrier123,

These proposed changes are far more insidious than simply scrapping the 16/38 IP. Given the way that the Treasury and HMRC calculates pensions means that if the annual contribution is...
