The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Remediable Service Statement's are outstanding as of 19 March 2026, and what estimate he has made as to when all remaining statements will be issued.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones

As at 16 March 2026, the number of members awaiting their initial Remediable Service Statements (RSS) was 37,515.

100,592 members have successfully been issued with their RSS. Any pension adjustments arising from members' elections will be backdated with interest to ensure members receive their full entitlement.

The Ministry of Defence is working with the scheme administrator to finalise the timeline for issuing all RSSs. Once a timeline has been finalised, this will be communicated with members.
