Had some disappointing news from the FPS. I submitted a pension forecast to them, something i have done 3 times in the past several years, and they would reply giving:
"The Forces Pension Society has recently changed the way that it deals with pension forecast requests. Whilst we are happy to audit/check forecasts, we no longer routinely act as the first provider or model potential discharge dates. In order to assist you, please find an extract from our website which sets out the protocols that we encourage our members to follow."
and then pointing me to the online Pension Calc or requesting a forecast from Glasgow.
Mentioned this to a few of the lads and the general response was, "In that case, I may bin them off next renewal". I think the FPS do a great job, roadshows, keeping us up to date with McCloud, but the fact that a Pension Society will no longer provide forecasts is something i cannot fathom or get onboard with.
I'll be cancelling my subscription next renewal
- Spreadsheet with all the different options.
- Actual figures of what each option was.
- An explanation of the figures.
