The Armed Forces Pension Regulations 2014

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

As published

43 Retirement on or after reaching normal pension age – active members

(1) A member is entitled to the immediate payment for life of a retirement pension under this scheme if— (a) the member ceases to be in pensionable service under this scheme at or after reaching normal pension age; and (b) the member has not made a claim for a pension under regulation 44 (retirement before reaching normal pension age – deferred members) in respect of that service. (2) But a member is not so entitled unless— (a) the member has claimed payment of the pension; and (b) (i) the member has at least 2 years’ qualifying service; or (ii) a transfer value payment otherwise than from another occupational pension scheme has been accepted in relation to the member under Part 8 (Transfers). (3) A member, who is entitled to a retirement earned pension under this regulation, is entitled to immediate payment for life of— (a) a retirement added pension, if the pensioner member’s account specifies an amount of retirement added pension; and (b) a retirement club transfer earned pension, if the pensioner member’s account specifies an amount of club transfer earned pension. (4) The claim for payment of a pension under this regulation must be made by notice in writing to the scheme administrator in such form as the scheme manager requires. (5) In the event that the member delays making a claim under this regulation after reaching the normal pension age the in-service late payment supplement or the late payment supplement (as applicable) will apply to the account of the member.

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
