AFPS15 Remedy: “Complex” RSS Communications – MoD Timeline Update Deferred Until April
As previously reported, the Forces Pension Society has continuously urged the MoD to fully resource the Remediable Service Statement (RSS) rollout plan and to provide timely communications to affected members.
Following our interventions, the MoD undertook to provide an update in the New Year which it did on 6 Feb. In summary, it is an interim update stating:
“Work is underway to develop a comprehensive schedule for completion… Our next update will be issued in April 2026, with further updates to follow on GOV.UK.”
There is understandable frustration/anger surrounding these delays but as our Chief Executive has stressed it is essential that the MoD publish a realistic, achievable and fully resourced rollout plan – and be open and honest with all AFPS members during this process.
Our latest Sitrep on the AFPS15 Remedy can be found here: https://forcespensionsociety.org/2026/02/mccloud-sitrep/ We remain busy supporting those Members who have already received their RSS through their decision making process and will keep you posted on any further updates.
Forces Pension Society CEO, Maj Gen Neil Marshall said of this latest MoD statement:
“We obviously hoped this latest update would provide some clarity on the timeline set for remaining RSS communications to be completed. In that sense, the statement is disappointing.
“For our part, we will continue to press on behalf of all those still waiting and whose future plans may be on hold.
“In the meantime, our website will continue publishing updates as they become available: forcespensionsociety.org”
