I had heard that they were looking at allowing personnel to bring forward their AFPS15 Early Departure Payment at the 20/40 point if they stayed in - again, this would need a significant change to the Scheme unless the measure is an interest free loan against the Pension Scheme? That would be about the only thing that the AFPRB could recommend in the report.
LJ, you’re probably right about pensions not being in the report (I’ll only say probably as there’s no telling what this lot will do!), but for my money that can then only mean any other contentious issue would be something along the lines of increments, allowances or specialist pay.
