A Medical Pension is a 'slightly enhanced' payment of your normal pension
So my earned pension is 'slightly enhanced' and is now called a Medical Pension, and tax free?

The reason I am asking is that in normal circumstances, we generally 'commute the maximum' but if it all gets combined, and tax-free, then I just might not commute.

Trouble is, I've just been told by the Veterans Agency that I find out about my award 'the day after my last day of service'

if you are given a declared disability of over 15%
The Veterans Agency only mention 'an award of tariff 11 or above' for the Guaranteed Income Payment. Does the percentage thing come later?

k1rb5 - maybe see you at Headley Court, end of March?
