Forces Pension Society - Rules on the Resettlement Grant

MoD has updated the Resettlement Grant figures on their website , so we thought why not explain a little more about the rules around the Grant.

Some people think that the RG is something to do with paying for resettlement courses or training – this is wrong. The RG is a tax-free lump sum intended to help Regular Service personnel settle into civilian life. There is no stipulation as to what you can spend it on BUT you need to remember that there are breaks in service to be observed and, if you take up another military post too quickly, you might have to repay some or all of your RG.

This month we examine what happens to AFPS 05 and AFPS 15 Early Departure Payment (EDP) and Resettlement Grants (RGs) -both of which are only payable to Regulars - in the same circumstances.
