| Lets get behind this boys .. Len (Ciphers) Soldiers' Pensions - More MoD parsimony For those of you who don't know, Sergeant Matty Telford was killed 3rd Nov2009 by a rogue Afghan Policeman. Now, you will all remember him from the news as Sergeant Matty Telford but the army give his children his pension at Corporal rate because he was a Sergeant for less than a year. The unfairnessof this is that he was promoted so he could do this job in Afghanistan and had he not been promoted he would have been doing a different job and may have been with us today. After this petition was started it came to light that this is happening to a lot of our soldiers' families. If a soldier was being paid as a sergeant when he was killed, then it seems to me that that should be the basis for his widow's pension. If you agree, please sign. http://soldiers-pensions.co.uk/?q=petition(In signing the petition you will not be expressing a political opinion on any of the conflicts our servicemen are dispatched to.) | |

| It has always been the case since 1975 (AFPS75) that the pension scheme paid for the 2 highest years substansive rank in the last 5 years of service for OR's, and unfortunately that applied to the Widows Pensions as well, and a few cases were highlighted over the years. I agree 100% that it is wrong and should be looked at again in light of currant operational circumstances.
Duly signed, but hold out little hope of any further change, as the new AFPS05 now says a year... But sould be abolished all together for 'Killed in service'

| Pensions, Preserved Pensions - seems some have not claimed?  Perhaps believing pay out would be automatic. It isn't - if you have entitlement you have to claim. Lump sum is 3 times annual rate at the point the pension goes in to issue, and then a regular somewhat indexed link monthly (in arrears) pay out:  | |
