The DIS lump sum in AFPS 75 increased to three times representative pay for deaths on or after 6 April 2005. If you decide to stay in AFPS 75 and want to continue to buy a four times DIS lump sum benefit, you will need to apply to AFPAA to start a new contract. You will pay one-third of your original payment, as you will be buying one-third of the extra benefit you originally contracted to buy. You should advise AFPAA of your decision by 1 March 2006. Exceptionally, you will also be allowed to stop the contract if you decide you do not want to continue to pay for a DIS AVC.
