It might surprise you to learn that a large proportion of our 66,000 Members are either in Resettlement or have already left the Armed Forces. This is partly because Resettlement is a critical time in determining the level of your Armed Forces pension (guidance from our Forces Pensions Consultants can help you make the best choices when you exit). It also reflects unexpected circumstances such as the complexity of dealing with the consequences of the AFPS15 Remedy (McCloud).
More than that, the many membership benefits we offer can help to replace some things you might have taken for granted. For example, our healthcare packages, our travel insurances, our money transfer service, discounts on new cars, discounted legal services (often concerned with divorce), and many more discounted products and services. And, as most of our long-time Members tell us, they want the reassurance of keeping in touch with changes in tax and pensions – not to mention the satisfaction in supporting a worthwhile cause.
The Forces Pension Society exists to support the whole military community as a pension watchdog, giving you a voice on the representative bodies for Armed Forces and Public Sector Pensions.
So join us and see how we can help you through your Resettlement journey and beyond.
It pays to understand your pension!
