JaJ,
Its pretty much ad-hoc/free-flow. I run my IFA business in parallel, so do it on a voluntary basis when tasked by the FSA/MoD (I tend to pick up the RAF and many Army requests) or when someone sends me an e-mail/PM asking me to present somewhere. If you're interested, its best/easiest/quickest/simplest! to drop me a PM and we can take it from there.

By way of general interest as much as 'owt, ONS has just released new inflation figures.
National Statistics Online - Inflation
CPI: 3.7% (up from 3.3%)
RPI: 4.7% (up from 4.7%)
Bag that fixed rate whilst you can..?

Inflation
CPI inflation 3.7%, RPI 4.8% The nice coalition government, has stiched up most pensioners, to the tune of 1.1% , at the present time, by changing the yearly pension rise for most pensioners from RPI to CPI

Only really relevant to ex forces people who are living outside UK and have no intention of returning but transferring to a QROPS pension scheme can be advantageous for people in this situation.
I obtained a transfer value on my RAF pension just before all pension transfers were 'frozen pending recalculation' in mid 2010. I have just received the new transfer value, some 6 months after the intial valuation and it is worth 20% less.
But because of the reduced increments I can expect if I stay in the AFPS it is still worthwhile my transferring out.
Very sad day as that is my last link with the military severed.
