Thanks for the links, the Montfort one looks quite interesting.

I suppose NZ would be OK but our family is in Aus!

Spoke to the horses’ mouth today at Insworth. The chap assured me that the service pension was unaffected and would be indexed as normal.

He explained that Tax would be paid at standard UK rates on the pension before it was sent overseas . This seems to contradict L J R but I expect L J R may be aware of more of the subtleties of the Australian tax system than the Insworth bod.
