3k formerpolice officers due pay outs
The Justice Minister David Ford explained: “I understand that the PSNI received a bulk calculation facility from the Government Actuary Department at the end of August.
“With almost 3,000 former police officers potentially affected, the PSNI envisage that, once calculated, it may take six to eight months to pay all those affected. I am advised that payment will be made based on the date of retirement from December 1, 2001 forward.”

The Ombudsman ruled that the rate at which this exchange was made for the 2001 and 2006 period should have been altered.
