<p>The single Services provide holistic support to their respective leavers and signpost
to the services available to them. Although individual units may have their own bespoke
processes, the Tri Service Resettlement policy (JSP 534) available at the link below
explains the minimum level of support.</p><p> </p><p>www.gov.uk/government/publications/tri-service-resettlement-manual-jsp-534</p><p>All
Service leavers are given the opportunity to attend a Financial Aspects of Resettlement
Brief by the Forces Pension Society. Briefs can be attended at any point in a Service
person's career, however priority is given to Service leavers with nine months or
less to discharge. Briefings are tailored, where numbers permit, to different rank
groups, and spouses are welcome to attend.</p><p> </p><p>All Service leavers are issued
a Service Leavers' Guide designed to provide help and advise on a range of topics
to assist with planning the transition to civilian life, and contains pension information
and signposting. This was last reviewed in September 2023 and can be found at the
following link:</p><p>https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/651c1168e4e658000d59d888/Service_Leavers_Guide_-_Sep_23.pdf</p><p>
</p><p>On discharge, Service leavers also receive a letter from the Joint Personnel
Administration Centre (JPAC) detailing their pension entitlement and when this will
be paid.</p><p> </p><p>Further information and guidance relating to the Armed Forces
Pension Scheme (AFPS) is readily available on gov.uk at the following link:</p><p>www.gov.uk/guidance/pensions-and-compensation-for-veterans</p><p>
