Thanks very much, Ill look into this, it might be worth doing it in any event, you will never know how they might change the rules in the future.
I have got my first couple of payslips and all going as expected. The supplementary pension should be sorted next week as mentioned. With the service I have, I checked the situation with JP vs OSP.
I will get annually OSP of 11,985 based on current pay. I would get JB of 12,064 (not counting bonus weeks etc). So the difference for me is very small. I would be reverting to OSP after 9 months anyway.
Great to have the freedom not to have to sign / collect pension in person. Heading for a couple of short breaks before Christmas which would have been difficult with out the good work getting the new OSP arrangements.
If you have more than about 33 years service, the OSP payment will exceed the JB.
I will be working a couple of days in November to finish off something. This will reduce the OSP by a couple of days, I might post on my experience of the process, others might find it useful.
