Pension Sharing on Divorce

​Veterans UK have identified a number of Armed Forces Pensions Scheme (AFPS) members who have a Pension Sharing Order in place which requires recalculation.

This is a result of an error made when applying DWP legislation to the Armed Forces Pension Schemes.

AFPS members affected by this issue will shortly receive a letter from Veterans UK notifying them of the situation and detailing their new entitlement. Personnel who have been overpaid will not have the overpayments recovered from them, and those who have been underpaid will receive any arrears due.

Unicef UK - There For UK Children Throughout Childhood

We’re there for UK children throughout childhood

Life for children in the UK can be tough. Almost 4 million live in poverty, obesity and mental health problems are rising, and many experience violence, abuse and neglect. So, here in the UK, we’re putting our years of experience working for children around the world into practice.

We’re there throughout childhood, making sure that every child has the same chance to shine. We work with the hospitals where they are born, the schools where they learn and grow, and the communities that shape their lives.
