The point made by this petition and in the Forces Pension Society recent request to government (
The Forces Pension Society - Top brass urge government rethink on pensions) is valid.
If you accept the premise that HM Forces personnel should be able to receive a pension around from 40 years of age then you must also accept that this change of index severely disadvantages HM Forces personnel far more than others. Those that would argue against such right should read this (

Whilst it is well accepted that we are 'all in this together' the public sector pay freeze and changes to future terms & conditions mean we are already taking the hit, yet this measure singles out HM Forces for extra pain yet bankers are left to bask.
Loyalty is clearly a one way street.
If you can't beat 'em...join em! Are there any banking courses available on ELCs? How hard can it be?
