I cannot verify this until monday but I'm fairly/definately sure that the law has changed to 18 years served (for upper rate) of which minimum 9 (and you can put money on it being from substansive) as NCA.
This obviously affects the many re-treads that follow this career path. I'm told that if you were getting the upper rate they will eventually honour it...
If you were about to get it and don't fit the new criteria then you'll have to wait that bit longer....
