I understand from SPVA now that any SP within 10 years of their normal retirement date wef 1 April 2012 will not be transferred to the Future Pension Scheme (as distinct from the New Employment Model) thus benefits will be paid iaw current rules. Unfortunately, this has not been well communicated to those not on a normal unit and without regular DII access - albeit the latter a blessing in disguise! Moreover the use of conditional language from SPVA remains a continued source of concern.
