Thanks for the welcome, didn't know this place existed, just been browsing for the past couple of hours, great to be amongst people who speak my lingo again...normally only happens nowadays during the annual whalloping by the Fijians at Twickenham!

Changed that for accuracy

Pension crisis over, called them - was as I thought, lower payment for this month as not a complete month.
Works out as an increase of approx. 85% - happy days!

I am looking for info re the form 14 request for forecast of deferred individual pension benefit. It asks for service start and discharge dates. I was in regular service from 10th July 1979 and left on 18 months notice on 20th March 1987. I did 1 year compulsory RFR and a further 3 years voluntary RFR. I was called up for operation Granby on 29th Jan 1991 and demobbed on 16th April 1991 to finish RFR on 6th May 1991.
My question is what is my service discharge date, March 87 or May 91?

The form you need is an AFPS Form 8. Submit it about 6 months before your 60th birthday. Address is on the form.

Ok Im confused now, I joined in 1971 HMS Ganges @ 15 years old and left after 6 years, so does my 6 years count for nothing at all. Anyone know if the Glasgow address still exists and maybe an email address.

Yep. It is still Glasgow. Give them a call with your Official Number and all will be revealed.

When you left in 1977 you would have needed at least 5 years Regular paid service AND to be at least age 26 on discharge in order to qualify.

On 1 April 1978 the criteria altered to remove the 'age 26' requirement but you would have needed at least 5 years Regular paid service after age 18 in order to qualify.
