Harsh reality?
The obvious problem I see is that we all know the pensions bill is one the government can’t really afford and they will probably do anything to rid themselves of it.
The only way to protect what you have (for now at least) is to leave the service and realise your asset. The 2022 date suddenly sounds like a ticking clock.
I just can’t shake the nagging feeling that I should cut and run with, what will by then be, a 23 year AFPS 75, PAS pension.
Rejoining at a later date or joining the reserves is always an option and, as PAS, would not be a terrible deal.
I’m hoping to be proven wrong.
