We want to make sure that the Armed Forces and their families receive fair treatment from the nation which they serve, as set out in the Armed Forces Covenant. As well as the new State Pension, this year has also seen the launch of a new National Insurance credit designed to help Armed Forces spouses and civil partners protect their future State Pension.
