So the government has said that anybody retiring in the next ten years won't be affected by any changes to the public sector pensions
Returning to the opening lines of this thread. That statement is completely at odds with the rumour that all SP will have to transfer over to a new system around 2015/2016 resulting in a lower figure for final pension. Even worse, with the reduced amount you will receive at 55 and a gaping 5 year hole!
Maybe,whoever in the MOD is tasked with looking at the new scheme needs to sit on their hands for a while. Or someone needs to ask the Pensions Minister for an example showing how a 45 year old SP will not be financially affected over the next 10 years...
