Money & Finances for Veterans and Military Families
Service life comes with its own financial rules — from pension schemes to mortgage support to benefits that civilians don't get. This hub pulls together everything you need to manage your money, whether you're still serving, about to leave, or years into civilian life.
Armed Forces Pensions
The Armed Forces Pension Scheme works differently depending on when you joined, and the rules around transfers, preserved pensions and early departure payments catch a lot of people out. This section breaks down what you're entitled to, how to check your scheme details, and what to sort before you leave the Forces.
Mortgages and Buying
Buying a home as serving personnel or a veteran comes with options civilians don't have — including Forces Help to Buy and lender schemes that account for service life. This section covers how those schemes work, what changes once you've left, and what to check before you apply.
Debt and Financial Difficulty
If money's tight, there's service-specific support that goes further than generic debt advice — and getting to it early makes the difference. This section points you to confidential help, fast, with guidance built around the realities of service life.
Benefits and Entitlements
Entitlements shift at every stage — during service, at discharge, and as a veteran — and it's easy to miss what you're owed. This section sets out what's available at each stage and the practical steps to claim it without the run-around.
Discounts and Savings
If money's tight, there's service-specific support that goes further than generic debt advice — and getting to it early makes the difference. This section points you to confidential help, fast, with guidance built around the realities of service life.
