Thanks Arty, any chance of a copy of that e-mail you have via PM? If not coz it is on DII, PM me and I will give you my DII address if you would rather forward to that system.
I am not overly concerned yet as almost everyone I speak to that is connected to the FAFPS is fairly certain that it won't be ready for Apr 15, as that is stated as an aspiration date and is the earliest it will happen, not the set in stone date yet.
Also, anything I get from the 5 years on PAS pension wise will be a bonus.. I stayed for a specific reason and the FRI and the salary over the last few years has been better than some of my contemporaries who left the service and then were made redundant have been getting! So I guess I made the right choice for me regardless.
