Jack Peterson Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 :attention: As we Get older, we realise that life and time marches on. At 16/17 we have life before us, time is of No Importance. NOW! things are Different, The Time has come that I felt Maybe Felt, would never come. THE TOTAL, RETIREMENT. When I retired from the RAF it was a big thing, 45, HA! Young still. Now, I have only 13 months and the ARP comes in, ( Age Related Pension) Now this, will apply mainly to UK members but! I will welcome all responses. My service Pension was sorted many years ago, this is not what I write about here. We hear and talk about Cost of Living, Exchange rates and everything about our lives in the P.I. Now I need to ask a Question?What is the best way to receive the Government Pension Payment? Given that the UK (I Guess other Countries too. have a Reciprocal Pension Agreement with the P.I) I think maybe only UK members who have Actually opted for a payment, could answer this as I would Hope for. again, all answers will help.Do I?1. Have it paid to a UK Bank account and draw at ATM.2. Have it paid to a UK bank account and Transfer Monthly.3. Take the FCO Initiative and go the Whole Hog and do it through the DWP ( Department of Works & Pensions)Although I have always felt I was in Control of my Destiny, With 13 months to go, I realise I am most certainly Not. Guys & Gals, any help and/or Suggestions will be Great.Jack P. :attention: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 1. Have it paid to a UK Bank account and draw at ATM. Nope,deposit in my bank account and at least one of us will be happy. :) Seriously I'm glad I don't have to worry about these things for sometime. By the time I am able to receive a pension I bet its just something you read about in history books, online of course as there will be no books.Hope someone from the UK can help answer your question. :tiphat: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
