Where do I stand...I came off the current board in the high teens and am currently temp downgraded. I have just been informed that I will not get picked up this year until I am upgraded and potentially if my injury persists I will be over looked and put back in the pot for selection again next year. I was selected above my peers for promotion and I am missing out financially and on seniority in my potential next rank. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Any chance of getting yourself upgraded for long enough to get your third then downgraded again, (Like that EVER happens...) Or is your injury too sever?

Having spoken with my mate in Manning then to be promoted with a lowered med cat then you have to be employable within trade. Therefore if there are no vacancies at this time that can accommodate you fully in the trade (even within your medical restrictions) the desk will recommend that your full release to the PSL be held in abeyance until your next review. This decision is not made lightly, but in consultation with medical specialists, thus if they state you are likely to be upgraded at the next review then when this comes along and they revisit your case you will have nothing to worry about. If you are unlikely to be upgraded then they will go through the process again, weigh up the evidence they have available, what vacancies they need filling etc and then make a decision from there.

You aren't actually losing anything at the minute because you are not promoted, so I wouldn't get hung up on seniority and pay because you have not been promoted. Even if you had been fully released to the PSL then it could well be that the post they need you to fill wouldn't come up at the same time as those around you on the PSL so you would be in the same position. Remember they don't have to promote in numerical order, which has been quoted on this thread previously. Ultimately seniority is a minor factor that people get hung up and have no reason too.

In response to the person who made comment about getting upgraded for promotion and then downgraded, whilst primarily in jest I am guessing then caution is advised. If you do this and then cannot attend your promotion courses etc you will not get your LOS30 paperwork etc, etc, so a gamble to take and could come back to haunt you. More so these days when there is more scrutineering than ever.

Finally, it seems there a few people in a similar position as discussed above so at least there is parity of treatment going on for all across the ranks!

Bloody Typical

Bloody Typical

Whilst sat at home on resettlement, (waiting out my 22)
I received a phone call asking if I was to be offered promotion (currently 91) would I be happy to accept it.
They are willing to extend my contract by ten months to complete the relevant courses.
Now IF and that's a big IF I decided to take it, would they make me change my pension from the old 75.
And, if I were to PVR would I still get my lump sum and pension immediately???
Thinking there are more cons than pros here!!
 
Not having a dig here Yorkshireloony... But who asked you that and do they know something the rest of us don't?

Asking questions like that when you are at Number 91 could be misinterpreted a bit if you ask me.

Whats your opinion ?
