Those who are members of the Armed Forces Pension Scheme 1975 are eligible for compensation under the Armed Forces Redundancy Scheme 2010 (AFRS 2010).
Those who are members of the Armed Forces Pension Scheme 2005 are eligible for compensation under the Armed Forces Redundancy Scheme 2006 (AFRS 06).
Those who have opted out of AFPS 75 or AFPS 05 in favour of their own private pension arrangement are eligible for compensation under the Armed Forces Redundancy Scheme 2006 (AFRS 06).
