Thanks for the update chaps, the PPruNe virtual SHQ to the rescue once more.

If Carlsberg did SHQs ...

Edited to add:

Just had a look for the Added Pension bits in light of other posts. Now it might be me bring a bit thick after a long day, but how bloody complicated have they made it?!!!! I had the added years AVC under AFPS 75 and the aim was simple - if you joined up after 21, pay a bit extra each month and at the end you will qualify for a full pension if you stay til 55. Simples. It bridged the gap between the earliest you could start accruing pension rights and the point in time you joined.

That doesn't seem to be an option here, you now appear to have to guess how much to put in to bridge the gap. Where's the option to say I want to pay enough to ensure I retire on a full pension as I would have done under the simple AFPS 75 AVC arrangements? Is there nothing they can't bugger up or make insanely difficult by tinkering?????
