Not quite sure what you base that on, due to the fact I was past my IPP and received 42K and am currently joining another flying club.
Best advice is to ring the JPAC muppet to log your call, ( and here's the best bit -you cant speak to the pension dept direct....you're not allowed cus the computer says..NOOO!!,
) so get someone that can actually string an English sentence together to call you back , this will give the quickest reply.
Be aware that there original written estimate was about 4k short of the amount paid, so its worth questioning it! guess thats the price we pay for 22 yrs hard graft and being supported by Pi@@ P@@r admin.
Plus it took them nearly a month to pay anything!!
Plus if you have had a very helpful LSASP loan for a house deposit over 4 or 5 yrs, they will take it ALL out of your final salary WITHOUT EVEN TELLING YOU, apparently there was some memo sent out last year....which obviously I missed somewhere between the UK and the DEED..
But hey ho...thats life ...jump ship before the hole thing blows..is my advice!!!!!
