One to watch.

The FBU says many firefighters will not be able to maintain fitness standards into their late 50s and this endangers the public. If any have to retire early at, for example, 55 as 'we' currently can do, they will suffer via an actuarial deduction. Having just worked on a rather complicated divorce case with some help from the Government Actuarial Department (thanks SPVA by the way ), thats a very scary proposition.

If we have servicemen soldiering on until 60, they face a similar financial scenario in the event of ageing bodies simply being unable to work as required.
