Hi
Anyone know how long it takes for the payment to come through once you reach the age of 60.
Did all the paperwork as requested, even checked they had it.
Now just waiting

Assuming that you claim ahed of your birthday and that we are talking about AFPS 75 benefits only, Veterans UK do not start to work on your claim until your 60th birthday. They will pay your first pension within one month - payments being monthly in arrears. According to a long thread on ARRSE a couple of years ago, the average wait for the lump sum seemed to be 10 working days.
