It would be very interesting to know what will happen to people currently drawing a pension as well. Where will the cut off point be?
Let's assume Flt Lt X retires in Jan 2015 and receives a full payment, immediate pension. Does Flt Lt Y who retires in the May 2015 ( and on new terms) not receive his immediate pension?
I'm really not sure the legalities of all of this, but if people in very similar situations, who have paid, contributed and sacrificed the same, get two completely different pensions?
The uncertainty of it all is actually causing a lot of people undue stress and worry. I've only stayed in these last couple of years on the promise of this pension.
