Update On Veterans ID Cards
Update from Veterans UK
We have been receiving requests for information on veterans ID Cards.
Behind the scenes there is a lot of work going on at present across Government, the Charity sector and other providers to improve services for veterans, all linked to the Armed Forces Covenant.
The delay in offering an ID card to veterans more widely is partly so that the Department can complete work to consider how best a future card, or veterans identity approach, can support these services for veterans in the future

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.
