Why are partners not eligible for non-attributable pensions in AFPS 75?
It has been the long-standing policy of successive governments that discretionary changes to improve the benefits from public service pension schemes should be implemented from a current date for future service only. The AFPS 05 covers partners where the death is not attributable to service and if you transfer from AFPS 75 your service will count towards your partner’s benefits in the event of your death.
