State and service pension
- Thread starter EODONE
- Start date
Hi bud,
that depends on whether you have contracted out out of the state pension or not.
My dad got both his state and service pension on reaching 65. The service pension has been passed onto my mum albeit at a 50 % reduced rate.
I suspect that you will not have contracted out and will recieve both pensions but perhaps a word with a financial advisor or even better, if you are a veteran, contact the Service Personnel & Veterans Agency who ime sure can help you. Their website is www.veterans-uk.info

I didn't contract out but didn't do 22 years. I will get my `preserved' pension when I reach age 60. If I die my wife will get 50% of my entitlement.
Hi EODONE
I did 22 years in the RAF (1959-83 incl boy's service), coming out at 40. I can't remember the dates involved but I was contracted out for some of that time. I am now 66 and get my full service pension plus a full OAP. If you'd like to send me a PM I will pass on the phone number of a mate of mine who lives near you who has all of this information to hand.
Regards
