I’m in your boat downsizer - retiring just over a year ago, well over the age of 60 (on MEOS+) terms and still on a front-line flying squadron. Previously locked into AFPS 75, my pension effectively stopped from age 55 until everyone moved onto the new scheme in Apr 22. In my case, that is currently a big hole during which my income was all on top level PAS. Bottom line for me is in the order of a £10k pension uplift as soon as my RSS paperwork is finalised, hence I have a significant interest in this thread.
TR is the first fully retired person I’m aware of to receive an RSS and I wonder if they are starting from those who have been out longer? Either way, I’m still not expecting anything till April next year and I look forward to the lump sum offset (including interest added) to pay for next year’s holiday.
