This discussion concerns eligibility for the old pension scheme (OPS) for individuals who joined service after January 1, 2004, when the new pension scheme (NPS) was introduced. Despite a CAT order directing the department to consider granting OPS, the department has not complied. The advice suggests exploring options like appealing to the High Court or Supreme Court, but stresses the importance of consulting an advocate and understanding the specifics of the CAT order and its timeliness.
