UCAS guidance for potential students from a UK Armed Forces background
Veterans, or students whose parent(s), carer(s), or partner are current or former UK Armed Forces personnel may find there are unique circumstances to consider when making their applications. They may also be able to get extra support from their chosen university or college.
The information pages cover advice for:
*Service children
*Veterans
*Spouses/partners of UK Armed Forces personnel
Veterans' Gateway - unclaimed service pensions
If you served in the Armed Forces after April 1975, you could have an unclaimed pension. AFPS 75 pensions earned before April 2005 are payable at age 60.
To claim your preserved pension, go to the Veterans UK website and fill in AFPS Form 8. You will not receive the pension automatically - you will have to make a claim. You should send the form off around 6 months before your pension is due. If you have passed the due date you can still claim using the same form.
Further information is available on the Veterans' Gateway website.
Childcare Choices
The Childcare Choices website details what Government help is available for parents paying for childcare.
You can also read the myth-busting FAQ's for advice.
