AFPS 75 Additional benefits
About to fill in AFPS Form 4 to increase lump sum to 4 times salary. However, there are also 2 other boxes I could tick which are:
2. Maximise my Widow's/Widower's claim entitlement to a pension, based on representative pay rates for my rank at the date of my retirement or earlier death.
3. Enable my total retirement benefits and all benefits payable to my survivors or estate on my death, other than attributable death or invaliding benefits, to be calculated on the same general basis as AFPS benefits, but derived from my final salary excluding additional pay and allowances, rather than from representative pay for my rank.
So does anyone know what these mean and what the implications are for ticking these boxes? Are there any traps?
Can I tick all three?
