Title: Protect Your Military Pensions
Post by: magpie24 on December 09, 2010, 02:15:12 PM

Military Pensions
The Government have altered how your Military Pension is affected by annual inflation.   They have changed the link from RPI to CPI which will decrease the value of your pension year on year.  Below are some examples of the loss, which have been supplied by the Forces Pension Society, illustrating the cost of the change from RPI to CPI:
a. Disabled double amputee 28 year old Corporal £587,000 by age 70.
b. 40 year old Sergeant Royal Marines £212,000 by age 85.
c. 40 year old Squadron Leader £319,000 by age 85.
