Thank you for the praise.
To be honest, apart from the odd piece of speculation whilst awaiting further information, all the information I have passed on has been drawn from official sources open to public view, or from MoD internal material prepared for release to all members of HM Forces. Main sources have been:
Hansard, via the UK Parliament website,
Queen's Regulations, Admin APs etc, via the Defence intranet, RAF Portal etc,
MoD internet site
Defence Internal Communications Briefs,
and sundry others.
All of which goes to prove that the information is there, but you have to dig for it. The MoD should seriously consider whether it has communicated these issues very well, beyond selling the positive aspects of the "Armed Forces Pension Scheme for the 21st Century". If I am honest, I am sad that PPrune should need to be the vehicle for getting this information to a wider audience, but nothing else seems to have been very effective. If I have helped a little, then I will take pleasure in that.
Regards to all
