Hi Cindy,
I’m pretty sure that DFRDB is the old Military Superannuation scheme. I received a query many many years ago from someone on it & I advised them that I expected that it would work the same way as any other superannuation fund & advised them to contact DVA to find out if they were entitled to a PCC & that I couldn’t grant a rebate unless they had a PCC the same as any other self funded retiree receiving a super income. They were going to make enquires with DVA & come back to me with a reason why we had to grant it for them but I never heard back from them.
