I joined as an apprentice age 16 and pensions did not feature in my future plans at that age. I was lucky in that I served until age 55 but, in an obsolescent trade in my 20s, I could have suffered as so many have.

I do not receive a preserved pension and I am 63 years old, even thought I served 3 years in the WRAC between 1977 and 1980. If you can give me any information on this I would appreciate it, since I won't receive my state pension until I'm 66 years old.

Like many of us enlisting in our teens, any thoughts on pension rights were far from important. Just a shame that consequences were never put over more strongly. Or even the opportunity to be able to pay into a pension fund. How amazing that would have helped me/us in retirement years. I currently...
