I was reluctant to make this post due to my poor spelling and grammatical skills , which is on another thread btw.

Because i thought this is a golf forum , not master mind , open university or mensa. I joined to enjoy and take part in various topics ,not to be de-cried for my lack of non golfing skills.
And for those of who can't understand my spelling or grammar you can gtf , because you would have even less chance understanding my broad scottish accent face to face ,rant over for the moment.

The question is my nephew a sgt in the Royal Scots gaurds is due to retire next year, full service and all overseas tours done . But because of cut backs, he may be out a year earlier, redundant not retirement.
Will this make any difference to his pension and final payout,any info would be great

thanks
 
Your completely unwarranted aggression at the start of that post may see some people ignore your question. No idea why you felt the need to start it like that when you want help from the same people you're abusing. :/

Have you read the other thread on spelling?
 
I think but I am not 100% on this that if you are in the last 3 years of your service they will have to give you full retirement package if they let you go early. The pension has changed again since I got out 4 years ago but that was the case when I was still in. I know a mate of mine (Sgt) will be better off if they get rid of him early due to him already signing on for 22 and how the money works out.

It isn't your spelling and grammar that most people would take an issue with, it's your complete lack of people skills.

Ok then,everyone. Feel better now? :D

I cant comment on your original question regarding your nephew, but am kind of glad that a load of fellas will now have the chance to live a long and happy life that might have otherwise been in more jeopardy than need be.


Tip on spelling though, install google chrome and whenever a word gets underlined in red, hover the mouse over the word and right click it, a bunch of correctly spelt suggestions are given.

i have google chrome and that works on my email ok, but not on the forum pages for some reason . or on my punctuation . thanks . its only fun
 
If he gets made redundant then it will cause a lot of differences. Instead of the normal 'golden handshake' he will get a redundancy payout which will be in proportion to the time served. His final pension will be affected as he will have done less time. If he is due to complete his 22 but gets released lets say after 21 years then his pension will be worked out on that but just one year less will not make that much difference. I hope that makes sense as it does in my head. Regarding the new pension, that will not affect him as it comes into play April 2015 and everyone will have preserved pension rites up to that point. DO you know if he is on the AFPS75 pension or the new one?

One last thing......... why all the hostility?
 
It will make a BIG difference if he only does 21 as opposed to 22 years. If you do your 22 then you start to receive your pension from the day you leave (the position I am in), if however, you only do 21 then you will not start to receive a pension until you are 55. My pension stays at the same monthly amount until my 55th birthday when it then becomes index linked back to the date I left.
 
TBH, he can no doubt get accurate information from the AGC in his Battalion.
It is true that in order to gain an immediate pension you needed to complete your 22 (or 21 years and 9 months if you had guaranteed employment to go to). It would be nice to think that they would make a special case in this, and many other instances, but I doubt it - it constitutes a huge saving to the MOD.

His unit pay staff are the people he needs to be quizzing.

Roll on my 55 birthday and a significant increase in my pension - currently worth less in real terms as each year goes by!
 
If he's due out next year anyway then he won't be a year shy of that, given they'll have to give him 12 months notice of redundancy anyway.
