Well as a veteran currently in receipt of a mil pension I will be staying. My pension was accrued through contract with the UK crown. The UK crown, the rUK will be the legal inheritor, will remain responsible for payment, Now however that is to be done, level transfer of funds, agreement transfer to Scottish government - this will be determined during the settlement negotiations - we know not at the moment, of course we don't. Does it frighten me, no, does it concern me, yes, a little but I'm not loosing sleep - I have faith both sides will honour the contract. Many of the other issues raised are already known, we already have arrangements for those veterans living abroad who chose to have their pension paid in the local currency - they do so accepting the tax regime that this entails. At the end of the day, we all have the choice to move or stay, you could not drag me away from here.
