Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr S’ complaint and no further action is required by Veterans UK.

My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.

Complaint summary

Mr S has complained that he has not been allowed to re-join the Armed Forces Pension Scheme 1975 (AFPS 75). As an alternative, Mr S argues he should be allowed to aggregate his AFPS 75 service with his current Armed Forces Pension Scheme 2005 (AFPS 05) membership, or continue to receive his AFPS 75 pension.
