Re: PAS Changes
A Disgrace it is.
Lets see:
2004 "We are introducing a new pension scheme: APS 05"
2005 (Feb) "APS 2005 will be introduced this year. You will get an OTT Pack-up From July '05 and you will have 3 months to make a D"
2005 (August) "OTT Packs delayed. We will delay the deadline for decision to join until Nov 05"
2005 (November) "All OTT packs delivered (wrong!!) BUT we made some mistakes for Spec Aircrew, PAS and THE WHOLE ARMY. - Delay deadline until Jan 2006"
2005 (December) PAS conditions changed. Letter sent outlining issues (at time of majority on 2 weeks leave (Or deployed OS so can't get message!")
2006 (January) Receive Letter. Disbelief at moving goal posts. Struggle to get '3 months' expert financial advice as facts haven't been finalised. Better retain deadline just to keep the date NEAR 2005. Turn to PPRUNE for advice......
By The way, we will introduce a NEW Pay Computer system in 2006 where we can all manage our own pay & affairs.
keep it comin'
