Al,
I have forwarded you a copy of a further communication from SPVA.
I had a phone call and a letter from a Lt RN chap at SPVA rather than a civvie. Unbeknown to me my issue had been taken up by him and accordingly he now stated that the problem regarding EDP differences on the 05 scheme, have apparently been resolved.
He was also keen to point out that the same issue affected the new redundancy calculator and when I highlighted it, he was able to ensure that the problem was removed from both the pension calculator and the new redundancy calculator at the same time.
So, some success and thank you to the "system".
NB The calculator must still be regarded as "only a guide" and a discrepancy of less than 10% is acceptable in the eyes of the calculator software peeps.
User beware. Get proper advice before making any life changing decisions.
Rgds
Hugh
