Understanding your pension: join our live Armed Forces webinar

Delivered in association with the MOD during Armed Forces Pension Awareness Week

Understanding your Armed Forces pension can give you peace of mind, financial security, and confidence about your future. As part of Armed Forces Pension Awareness Week (8–12 September), the White Ensign Association – working alongside the Ministry of Defence – is delivering a live webinar presentation open to all members of the UK Armed Forces: serving, reserve and veteran.

Led by the WEA’s trusted and independent experts, the session will dispel myths, explain terminology, and provide practical guidance on understanding your pension entitlement.

Topics include:

  • An overview of the three main Armed Forces Pension Schemes: AFPS 75, 05 & 15
  • Scheme requirements and accrual
  • Early Departure Payments (EDPs) — what they are and who qualifies
  • Pension Remedy (McCloud) explained
  • Dependants’ benefits and what they mean for your family
