If your talking about the Class A pension from Comsuper, then unless they just changed it, its not 100% of their actual wage, unless new rules have come in since doing mine. I am on a class A pension from comsuper, and its 60% of my wage on leaving the military. Although I am under different schemes from Alex, so that could be a difference. It could have something to do with rank though also... being that Alex was a private on discharge, so that may be the maximum they pay under class A pensions or something, as I was obviously on a lot more with my rank and job. That could have something to do with it, so he could get a 100% of his wage if that is the case. You have the paperwork Tam... maybe just check it, and that could be it. Or combined he gets 100% of his wage.
Why can't they put it all under one umbrella? I asked the same question... all I can say is, "Government departments... each to their own."
Oh, give Alex my congrats please Tam on getting all that sorted out and through. Congrats too you also, as at a guess, you most likely did all the work, as kerrie does for me. |
