Also, if selected for redundancy, officers with 18 years service from age 18 can qualify for an IP; ie, an officer who joined at 18 and who has completed 18 years service will be eligible for an IP one year earlier (ie; at age 36 rather than 37) than an officer who joined at 21 and who has served for 16 years. There are some RAF and RN dental and medical officers exposed in the 2014 tranche, unless that has quietly changed?
