WARNING: Still in service after a divorce? You may lose all of your pension!

I'm currently fighting this with AFPS and have a dispute lodged with the pensions ombudsman as well as having the Forces Pension Society involved. I divorced amicably in 2013, and had a court order...

Pension abatement - is it legal?

So, I was wondering:

Would any other employer get away with reducing your pay and pension, simply because you decide to leave their company before retirement?

Do any other ppruners have any...

Angry Unable to deploy?

WW, so you can conveniently go to the nice cushy dets, but avoid all of those terrible operational ones? How awful! It's ok though, there will always be someone else on your squadron that can do...

75' pension

FYI, before AFPS 15' came in, I was expecting around £33k at age 55 as a Flt Lt PAS on AFPS 75'. Now on the new scheme it's £8-9k more per annum at age 55. That's based on current pay rates, zero...

5 Year ROS
