Alas, the MoD has previous though, when it comes to communicating AFPS detail. Para 13 refers (from just a few months back, although it does refer to events dating back to 1995).

Pensions Ombudsman rejects ex RAF AFPS member's claim

Quote:

He was not however provided with full information; a simple statement to the effect that specific index linking would not necessarily continue would have completely changed his decision to leave. He had been wrongly encouraged to consider the information he received about pension increases as reliable.

There does appear to be rather a lot of emphasis on the 'ignorance is no excuse' principle. Also, SPVA appears to be nicely insulated and if you do want to leave because of changes to AFPS and if you then seek redress, don't base your case on anything out of the MoD's control. This ruling took close to 2 years by the look of it.
