yes I am also trying to add it up. Unfortunately they changed the entitlement to immediate pension in 2008 from 12 to 18 years served. I have done 14, probably 17 by the time redundancies are finished. shafted.

If you get any luck working it out please let me know, im just short of 18 years by a couple of months and im ready to go. I had a quick look but its quite confusing. Is it branch/trade specific that they are looking for?

I would suggest there will be no compulsory redundancy. Tried it with RLC Chefs then back peddled through fear.

There will be voluntary redundancy for a few but not very limited payouts.

7000 Army jobs, 5000 Navy and RAF will be soaked up through normal outflow, recruiting has already been cut to shift the balance.

Well, I believe I've worked mine out

13 years service of 22 = 13 yrs RRS
Not entitled to immediate pension (IP)
((Wage/12 months) x 1.5 months pay) x years served
((£36970/12) x 1.5) x 13
=£60076.25 + resettlement grant (served more than 9 years)
= £70000 tax free

:beer: but they'll never make me redundant:(

Not so sure. Read a Face to Face brief today which stated that the reduction in manpower could not be met by natural wastage alone. Another brief was also published today stating that nobody would be made redundant before July 2011 therefore if you were to be made redundant you are safe until at least July 2012. Unfortunately these briefs aren't available on the internet but if you can access the Defence Intranet they are readily available.

That's what the DIN says, we knew that if you were within the 12 - 18 years served it would be the highest payout. Those after (or within their immediate pension) is a lot lot lot less.
