PENSIONS
SOCIETY
THE pension world of today is a veritable jungle. 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?

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.
