As Cpl Clott said there will be an EDP point on the new scheme it just hasn't been decided when it will be. Given that much of the new scheme's framework has been set down by Lord Hutton, there still remain some discretionary elements that the MoD can influence and one is where the EDP should be. This is one of the things that the FAFPS Team will be consulting on. The options they are looking at are 20/42; 21/43; 23/45. The 30/50 point is not being considered in the Consultation Exercise. The briefs that are being delivered at the moment are some kind of preliminary to the formal Consultation Exercise which will start once the Consultation Document and an online survey have been released which should be sometime this month. No doubt there will be a big Internal Comms push on it.
With regards the new Normal Pension Age of 60, if your TCOS mean that you can only serve to 55, then you would be able to draw your FAFPS pension at age 55, but at an actuarially reduced rate, along with your protected AFPS 75/05 pension. The change of TCOS to allow service to 60 is not in the gift of the FAFPS Team, but is, I believe, being looked at by the NEM Team.
