    Sky News, 14 Mar 24. MP’s awarded a 5.5% pay-rise taking their pay to £91,346. I wonder if we will get the same 5.5%?

    TG1 Retention again

    The trouble is with this sort of incentive is that it naffs off everyone else. Don’t get me wrong, you guys need and deserve to be looked at but I guarantee this will negatively impact other professions.

    Direct Entrant FS and WO? Would it work?

    @norfolkred1, Medical/Dental officers are an interesting case. They are rapidly promoted way beyond their Military experience iot be able to pay them enough to retain them. OF4 & 5 are ten-a-penny but a lot (most) are clueless Re/ anything but med/dent business. @Harry B'Stard & Downsizer, it...

    Death benefits

    I joined the Service in ‘97 and elected to remain on AFPS75 in 2005 when the AFPS05 scheme was introduced. I have now moved to AFPS15. It occurred to me the other day that I do not know what my estate would be entitled to on my:- 1. Death whilst in service but not on duty; 2. Death whilst in...

    Forces Pension Society - no longer provide forecasts

    I -like many others- will not renew my membership. In my view this change is a huge mistake by FPS. Glasgow are very difficult to converse with as they don’t take calls and will limit the number of scenario’s they will provide you with figures for. If you think you have been clever outlining...

    Public Sector Pension Ruling and the Armed Forces

    I retired in Apr 16 with an AFPS 75 immediate pension in payment. I elected to take full commutation. I was left with around a year in the AFPS 15 scheme. After almost 4 years as a Civvy I rejoined in Mar 20. My assumption is that I will be offered a choice at some point to either switch this...

    Transfer in of civvy pension

    I re-joined the RAF 6 months ago after 4 years ‘on the outside’. I served for nearly 19 years originally from late 1997 and all bar just over a single year is in the 75 scheme. I retired with an IP in payment which I no longer receive due to the abatement rule. During my 4 year spell as a...

    Considering rejoining!

    Well its early days but I have bagged a free 4 month holiday! I’m off to Bagram early next year. I would say things seem more or less the same so far. I’m happy with my decision.

    Considering rejoining!

    Update..... commutation reduced my annual award (pension) by £2.5K. Having been back in service since late Mar 20 I now pay just under £200 /month from my pay (after tax) ‘for the privilege’ of being back in the RAF. Maybe I am mad but I am content with that as I have had the money which was...

    Effect of rejoining on pension?

    To be honest, yes. My salary is really very good in the Military. To equal it in Civvy St I would really have to be doing very well indeed. Plus, this is an organisation I know.

    Effect of rejoining on pension?

    So, 4 months after re-joining..... I have received a letter outlining that I must pay from salary (after deductions) a monthly charge equivalent to 1/12th of the difference between my original full pension award and the reduced annual amount following commutation. This is nearly £200/month.
