Unclaimed Service Pensions Campaign

Every year some 2,000 deferred Armed Forces pensions go unclaimed and the sums involved can be significant. The latest MoD report from 2025 states that more than 15,000 pension benefits still remain unclaimed, down from 17,100 in 2023. This is progress but more needs to be done which is why the Forces Pension Society Charitable Fund is supporting the Unclaimed Pensions campaign. The aim is to raise awareness and signpost eligible Veterans to unite them with their pension benefits.
