What members say about us
Thousands of members have benefited from the advice provided and guidance given. These are just a few examples from the large number of letters we receive:
"Dear David, Thank you for your awesomely quick response. I’ve only been a member for a couple of weeks and I feel as though I have got full value for money already! It’s good to know that when I’m old and grey that my State Pension will be worth a bit more as a result of my SSC 6…though by the time I’m 65 the eligibility to claim will probably have shifted to about 83 years! Thanks again"
Wg Cdr V
"Dear Lt Commander Marsh, Once again thank you for explaining things in plain English that I find easier to understand. I will certainly go on the internet and take a good look at the booklet you recommend. "

“Good news regarding my IDRP complaint, I received a letter on the 27th January informing me that my appeal has been up held and the money that they were demanding will be written off! Also that any money owed to me will be repaid! Amazing, Once again thank you for all the help you gave me, it really did make a difference, up to that point I had felt very alone. Many thanks”

"I have been in touch with SPVA office on 3 separate occasions all to no avail... rang back... no record of my previous call... received a new reference...rang back ... was told my enquiry had been closed off.
