Military Pension Payment Date
 

Hopefully delving into the huge knowledge pool here will give me an answer to a question nobody else has been able to resolve.

Can I change the date my MOD pension is paid each month and if so how ? I've tried the DBS Veterans Portal and Gov.UK.

Any advice appreciated.

Have you tried the people that actually pay it?

Short answer- yes. Just call Equiniti and tell them which day you want, I changed mine to the first of the month.

I had my AFPS75 Regular Army pension and AFPS15 Army Reserves pension adjusted to be paid on the same date. Took a phone call, simple process.

Great, thanks very much.

Same here, I was told they can't change the payment date over the phone. Email duly sent.

Called Veterans UK to change the payment date of my War Pension too. After listening to classical music for 43 minutes they said that's set in concrete, date can't be changed.
