Notes:

All officers serving on 31 Mar 84, including those re-employed before 1 Apr 84, who have already completed 16 or more years reckonable service over age 21, or who will have done so on or before 30 Sep 85, will have a reserved right on premature voluntary retirement to the former percentage abatement terms if those were more favourable. This will be automatically exercised on their behalf.

Those who are re-employed on or after 1 Apr 84 and who subsequently retire voluntarily will have their retired pay in all cases awarded on the new scales.

Full details of the introduction of the additional pension scales are shown in DCI RAF J47/84.
