TOC,
You only narrowly beat me to asking the same question. How ridiculous though, that we cannot determine an answer through official channels. My enquiries led only to JPAC/Glasgow who were, of course, incapable of providing informed advice and will prepare one example pension payment plan only - they would not consider any variables, such as a range of different exit points - they even asked if I had already had a quote this year, implying that I would not be entitled to another. Given that it was the first request I had made in 20 years, I do not consider one or two alternative profiles to permit an informed decision to be excessive.
It did help to inform my decision - but not in the way I had expected!
I would be grateful for experiences relating to career stream exits, between 38 and 44 points on the old (75) AFPS. Are there 'anniversaries' or trigger points (e.g. birthdays or commisioning date) that make a disporportionate difference or is it pro rata on a monthly basis?
Incidentally, what is the currrent average PVR waiting time? Does it relate to rank?
Never thought I'd be asking this....
