So, if the MoD website was talking yukspeak, you must also admit to other official sites to be doing the same;
Did you know, for instance, that although Armed Forces Pension Schemes are usually considered to be non-contributory, the salaries of all Service people are abated by an amount agreed by the Armed Forces Review Body to take into account the value of the pension? This is currently 4%, a not insignificant amount and is a contribution about which you, the contributor, have no say.
Forces Pensions explained. Military pension advice from Forces Pension Society
Which way do you want this yukspeak to work for your side of the discussion OAP?
Besides, 4% ….. luxury!
