Well I don't earn quite as much (pay + pension) as I did when in, my main concern would be having to pay back all (or some) of the special capital payment I got for being made redundant and the commuted pension lump sum. Going through the publication at the moment but I suspect a call to Veterans UK might be in order. Ideally Something akin to the online pensions calculator should be made available to crunch the numb£rs and dates.
That said I work away from home at the moment so my overheads would be lower: there are jobs for my trade at the last base I worked at and my family home remains where it was when I was in.
