What like this and this?

http://www.sppa.gov.uk/Documents/Fir...Aug%202007.pdf - firefighter's compensation

http://www.raf.mod.uk/community/getm...9E64D02EFC3008 - armed force's compensation

It all seems pretty fair and equitable. They have even set it out in plain English:

What happens if I lose my fitness after age 55?
The 2015 scheme makes no changes to fitness or capability tests or regimes, which are a matter for employers. In the same way as the current 1992 and 2006 schemes, if it is determined that you are permanently unable, due to a medical condition, to undertake the role of a firefighter you will be given ill‐health retirement. If there is no medical reason to prevent you regaining your fitness, you will be given the opportunity to regain your fitness and the great majority of firefighters are able to do so.
Here is where this quote came from: https://www.gov.uk/government/upload..._the_facts.pdf

It all seems perfectly above board and fair to me?
