Hi,
I joined the a County Council in July 08 as an Engineer and the position is permanent.(phew...closed the door behind me)
Anyway I will have 30 years service done when I reach 65 and I applied to buy back the extra years to get me to 40 and thats ok. Now I know as an engineer you can get extra years added but this has been reduced to 5 years since April 05 and they take into account how many years you have worked in the private sector as well, anyway between the gigs and reels I get no added years because I worked 10 years in the private sector.
My question is this and I know I am grabbing at straws here, but I worked for the same local authority as a student in summer of 1997 and I would have paid supperannunation back then under the old scheme, therefore could I come under the old rules and therefore be eligible to get my 10 added years??? which I would be entitled to under the old scheme.
Thanks in advance
