Calm Down
Taking this thread back to its roots, MC7 was concerned that the latest DIN suggested that further PA Spine benefits would cease to exist from introduction of FAFPS. All the DIN example quoted is intended to indicate is that the PA Spine supplements relevant to the AFPS 75 portion of the eventual pension entitlements would be derived from the years actually spent within AFPS 75 as PA Spine, and only subject to eventual completion of the minimum 5 year RoS on the Spine to crystallise those benefits. Further benefits for years 4, 5 and beyond would accrue against the FAFPS part of the overall pension/EDP under the rules of that scheme. That's all there is to go on at the moment, but there is no need yet to predict the demise of the PA Spine, and unless special further rules are made, my current working assumption is that, after the transition date, 1/47th of each additional year's PA Spine salary (revalued) would accrue in the FAFPS "pension pot".
