That’s a wrap for Armed Forces Pension Awareness Week 2026
We hope our campaign helped you better understand your pension benefits and the choices available to you.
Whether you’re currently serving, preparing to leave the Armed Forces, are a veteran, or a service family, this page brings together follow-up resources you can download, so you can learn more about your Armed Forces pension.
* The Help Sheet ‘Schemes – Penson Eligibility – Claiming’ has been updated on 22/09/2026 to correct an error to the AFPS15 scheme section.
The previous version stated:
‘There is an EDP income stream and lump sum payable to Regular leavers only, aged between 40 and 60 if they’ve completed 18 years’ service.’ It should have read: ‘There is an EDP income stream and lump sum payable to Regular leavers only, aged between 40 and 60 if they’ve completed 20 years’ service.’
The help sheet is now amended, apologies for any confusion.
