The Armed Forces Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 2022

These Regulations make consequential provision for members of the armed forces pension schemes arising out of provisions in the Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Act 2022 (c. 7) (“the 2022 Act”) which close all pre-2015 legacy schemes to future accrual after 31st March 2022. These regulations also make retrospective amendments to transitional provisions previously made under the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 (c. 25) (“the 2013 Act”) in 2015. The 2013 Act had also closed pre-2015 legacy schemes to future accrual, but subject to exceptions set out in scheme regulations.
