The lack of trust is at the root of these problems and the very core of this thread is around an unfair decision taken by the MoD to the detriment of its Armed Forces Pension Scheme members that it tried to fight through the courts, only to lose.
it is because of this very reason I will be leaving at (and perhaps before) my EDP pension point.
The government has already made unlawful changes to the pension scheme I joined up on, and now forced me onto a new one with no choice.
I don’t think for one second that further changes to my pension scheme won’t be made in the next decade-and any changes will not be for the better (and if past performance is anything to go by-possibly unlawful!)
Don’t get me wrong-even now it’s a good a scheme, but given my concerns/future uncertainty, I think it’s better i jump in a few years with what I’ve got, than stay in.
