Not quite. IMO, this is straight forward deceit by the MOD. MOD operate the "Armed Forces pension scheme" as a simple drain upon Defence spending from UKGov resources with no capital or payments from members. Therefore, the Treasury see no "Pension fund or contributions" and classify the scheme as non-contributory, despite the abatement of pay. This sleight of hand has many consequences.
