I've just been thru this forum and gained lots of valuable info. Had missed the bit about getting 75% of pension at 55 so will have to do a few more calculations! Anyone know when we can transfer and how long you have to be on the scheme to gain the benefits?? In some parts of JSP 794 it talks about a 2 year qualifying period but not sure if they "backdate" the scheme to April 05? Also as PA I believe we have to do our 5 years on the scheme-Apr08 for those who transferred at the start-so does that mean we could not leave on AFPS 05 until April 08.
As you can see after reading the JSP and lots of this forum I'm still a bit hazy as to whether it would be better to change or if even I can change. Big thank-you to all those who are gradually adding to our corporate knowledge!
Biggus-why do you pay yourself the lump sum (3Xpension) twice in your earlier post?? I thought we only got this once at 65 but then theres a lot of things I don't understand!!
