My unit have said I...

    Considering rejoining!

    Word from The FPS is that as I took full commutation I must pay the amount my pension was reduced by annually back until I am 55. I.e. if my pension was £16K and commutation dropped it to £13.5K I must pay back from salary £2.5K per year (£210 per month) until I am 55. Thus meaning, I will pay...

    Effect of rejoining on pension?

    Hmm. Through commutation my pension was reduced by £2.5K annually ... planned for the near 15 years from the point I retired to my 55th birthday which would be £37,5K I would ‘pay back’ for the extra gratuity I took. As I retired nearly 4 years ago i’m into this ‘repayment’ by £10K. Is this...

    Effect of rejoining on pension?

    I retired nearly 4 years ago and elected to take full commutation. I have joined the FPS to get a steer on likely effects but given the time of year and how busy they say they are it looks like I won’t hear from them any time soon. My understanding is that I must pay back the commutation...

    I have asked the FPS about this but it can be 4-6 weeks for a reply. I would rather start paying it back straight away.

    Should we trust the training of phase 1 recruits to SACs

    Having been a Flt Cdr at RTS I would say it is down to the calibre/mettle of the individual not their rank. I saw some poor SNCO instructors.
