First post so be gentle!!
I find this a particularly frustrating situation to find myself in. I qualify for the £70k by being at IPP in the stated timeframe. Im staying for the pension like many others, however I have declared an interest in potentially greener pastures but remaining in defence. On reading the eligibility criteria in the DIN it is going well for me, right up to the point of application where it states that you cannot 'transfer' if you accept the payment.
As this is a Tri-service retention payment recommended by the AFPRB how is it that an individual cannot remain in the military and broaden his/her experience by way of transfer and still benefit from the retention payment?
All sensible offerings received!!
