Armed Forces: Workplace Pensions

Asked by Dave DooganScottish National PartyMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 3 March 2026UIN 113976

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many legacy disputes relating to incorrectly calculated Armed Forces pension entitlements are currently being pursued by Equiniti and the Ministry of Defence; and what the total monetary value of these claims is.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones

This information is not held in the format requested. A manual review of all overpayments would be required in order to identify if there is a dispute relating to the pension entitlements being incorrectly calculated which would incur a disproportionate cost to obtain.
