I don't doubt what you and others heard, or the willingness for the MoD to try something really stupid. Thankfully we have an unchallenged and final judgement in that all of us that were forced on to AFPS15 from a previous scheme were subject of an 'unlawful' act of discrimination. Not sure how the MoD could possibly justify not correcting the pensions of all those subject to the unlawful act.
My take on this is simple, the forced move on to AFPS15 terms did not happen. The MoD have already had fun correcting my pension numerous times due to their errors, omissions and the impact of the delayed pay rises on pensionable salary. I suspect this will be yet-another-change in due course.
