JTO,
At the moment I can see no advantage in leaving the scheme at any point as I presume I would be still accruing benefit, even if some of my pension income is taxed at 55%?
I
think so, particularly as a forces pension is non-contributory. Where it
might make sense to reduce one's pension contributions is with a post-mil career voluntary contribution scheme, if the total of both (or more) pension schemes edges towards whatever LTA is in place.
