To Commute Or Not To Commute
I recently attended the "Financial Aspects of Resettlement" brief which all service leavers are entiltled to attend at their nearest resettlement centre. The entire brief covered pensions and was very enlightening. The chap presenting the brief explained the pros and cons of commuting and prior to the brief I did not consider commutation to include any cons.
I would strongly recommend that anyone considering commutation hold off making a decision until they have attended this brief. Most of our individual circumstances differ and what may suit Mr A may not really suit Mr B.
Best of luck
