I find it interesting how, every year or so we get threads started which show that there is a gap in knowledge re pensions etc.
I served 16 years and then another 20 as a civil servant and it amazed me that full- career RAF mates knew little of the details of their pension, NI etc.- I suppose that is the reason for the "Financial Aspects of Resettlement" course.
In the present thread, The squodging together of basic pension + serps into one new pension has presented this false "injustice"
