It says:
"The Normal Pension Age for the Armed Forces is recommended to increase from 55 to 60. This does not mean that everyone will have to serve until age 60, in the same way that, at present, very few personnel serve to age 55. This recommendation does not apply to the deferred pension age."
I don't read that as retirement remaining at 55. Moreover, these are only RECOMMENDATIONS. The IBN also says:
"The Government has agreed that, because the Armed Forces do not have Trade Unions to represent their views, a separate consultation process will be needed. This has yet to be established. Until this consultation process is complete it will not be possible to say what a new pension scheme will look like."
So don't panic Mr Mainwaring - lots of water to flow under the bridge yet...
