perthsaint,

You say "plenty of people know", and then go on to ask, What would you like to know??

Well, I would like to know:

What will happen to military pensions for veterans living in an independent Scotland? Specifically:

Who will pay the pension?

What currency will it be paid in?

Will the pension for veterans living in Scotland be "linked" to those for someone with identical military service still living in the rest of UK, so a veteran isn't financially disadvantaged over time by having chosen to live in Scotland?

What happens to the pension for a veteran who lives in Scotland after independence, but chooses to move to England later, say in 2020?

How you can provide answers (as opposed to intentions) for any of these questions given that agreements on these matters will form part of post referendum discussions yet to take place between the respective governments?
