Stoppers, suggest you tread carefully as pretty much everyone is correct, from a certain point of view. Your pension includes every day of qualifying service, which will include the time served during your PVR waiting time.
The bit I would be concerned about will be the PA ToS as you may (the supporting leaflets have the detail) be transferred off the PA Spine on PVR if you have not made the required RoS. You will still get the pension calculated till the day you actually leave but this may not be on PAS terms - it would be like the PA Spine never happened. From memory you should be ok but you really must check. The devil is in the detail with all PA Spine RoS and ToS.
