I don't think either AFPS 75 or AFPS 05 will be amended/replaced anytime soon. The vast majority of service personnel do not remain in the forces until age 55, when the big final salary based pensions are payable. Service to age 55 will not be offered on a widespread basis, as it is has been in the past. EDPs will be the norm for most people and the average EDP is not a large income by any means. I guess that most middle age MOD civilians and other public sector employees remain with the government until age 65, which does attract a large pension for most of them. I think it these people that the PM has in mind.
