Armed Forces Benefits
Armed Forces Attributable Benefits are paid where the injury, illness or death was caused by service before 6 April 2005. The benefits are paid under the attributable rules of the Armed Forces Pension Scheme 1975. The benefits are paid to Regular personnel (and surviving dependents) if they are medically discharged as a result of service. The rules provide for a minimum income guarantee according to the individual's rank and the assessment of the degree of disablement.
