For example, did you know there are now four different types of retired pay and widows pensions which are the responsibility of the Ministry of Defence let alone those for which the Depart- ment of Health and Social Security are responsible? ! — 6.00 pm 7.30 pm 1 The parade marches past Do you know how and why the new method of applying the first pension increase after retirement can have a very material affect upon retired pay and your widows pension —and why you must therefore think very carefully before selecting your date of retirement? Do you know how increases are applied to your retired pay and the conditions of eligibility? If you have a disability do you know how to go about applying for a disability pension? Do you know how your retired pay may affect a pension from a private occupational pension scheme? What do you know about commutation and its implications? In short, can you find your way around this labyrinth? If the answer to this question is ' No,' then that surely is the best possible reason as to why you should join the Society. For we are here not only to look after the interests of all retired officers and their dependants, but also help and advise our members on their pension problems. If you would like to know more about us, which I hope you will, please write to the General Secretary, Officers Pensions Society, 15, Buckingham Gate, London, SW1. Membership is open to all retired officers and their wives, the wives of serving officers and widows. The subscription is very modest being only £4 a year ,and this includes both husband and wife. 253 — |
