Army pension

Just under a month ago I reached my 60th birthday and therefore eligible for my preserved army pension and terminal gratuity. As yet the lump sum has not appeared. Did anyony else have any bother getting their dues.

Not sure how it works with service personell who left their run out date, when did you leave? how old were you when you left? Do you have to send any documentary evidence to say that you have retired and wish to claim your pension?

Have you been in touch?, if not, post back, I have all the relevant details.

Going by your age, you qualify, but that depends also on how long you served.

Silly question, but are you sure they have your new address or if paid direct up to date bank details?

That's what I meant by documentary evidence.
First time I left I got the documents saying I had to claim my pension and provide evidence of retirement, address and other details, bank included. Then when I left in 2004 it was paid automatically due to length of service

Thanks for your interest. I have given all the relevant info and have had a letter to tell me the value of pension and terminal grant and that it would be paid with effect from the 29th April. It is that it has not been paid into my bank. I have phoned and was told that I would have to write in. I have written but no response. I seem to be in one of those vicious circles
