Flick i have been earmarked for PAP 10 and i am a couple of interviews away from my paperwork being sent to Manning and Records, today i was told that i was on the list for redundancy, so i can apply for it but not guaranteed that I will get it. my problem is I have already been given a GIP award for a back injury I claimed for in 2009 so i get that regardless of what happens so this is safe. ive been through the calculator and my lump sum is as you have said earlier considerably more than 3 times my annual pension. so im now in a position where i'm being looked at for PAP 10 and for redundancy! how ridiculous! i wish to apply for redundancy to get the SCP as well as my GIP award and forgo the medical pension because it will only come to the amount of my GIP anyway so i cant really lose only gain if selected for redundancy. the difference for me is £40,000 so i think id be better off applying for redundancy! i know i still need to put my signature to a few more bits of paper so i plan to drag it out as long as i can. in the mean time i hope i can speak to someone in the know who can put off the PAP 10 process at least until sept when ill find out if my application for redundancy is accepted. if it is not accepted then med discharge me by all means.

is anyone else in the PAP 10 process and on the list for redundancy?

According to the Commanding Officer brief, if you are undergoing treatment (ie ARC etc) then you will not be compulsory made redundant without all options being looked at, and then you will be given the best financial package for you.

Whether that is redundancy or Med Discharge, however I don't think that will apply if you are below the minimum med standards for retention in your own Corps.

Then it seems you are going down the PAP10 route and not the Redundancy route, let's face it the PAP10 route will be cheaper in the short term as there is no SCP for you to get, only the Taxman will lose out in his income from your pension if it is deemed attributable to military service.

That's my understanding of it without delving into the DIN.

What is is his percentage disability? And is he still on AFPS75?

I have been told that i am no longer required due to PAP 10,i have severed just over 20 years service and have got 18 months left before my 22 years’ a Cpl in the army and now i am not sure what will happen or if anything what i will receive reference my pension. They said they will see about a transfer to another Regt/Core but i can not see anyone wanting a P7 none deployable soldier’s it looks more likely that Med Discharge will be on the cards if im lucky.
Totally gutted with only 18 months left to serve

Totaly gutted with only 18 months left to serve :(

I'm thinking, I'm thinking.

20 years in, 18 months left to do? I'd personally tell them to poke it, start your resettlement and please, for the love of baby Jebus, learn how to spell.

I forgot to spell check

It's still not perfect, but hey - nobody is.

I'll tell you all about my experiences with the medical side of the Army in approximately 203 days. If I feel like, and am still kicking and screaming.

(Yeah, whatever, no-ones got that long to do, etc. etc.).
