Off-line order process:
The actuarial Uniformed Services Report costs only £50 (Excl VAT) per pension scheme valued, the same price paid by solicitors, IFAs and other professionals that use this service to value pensions on divorce. It is designed specifically for the police, fire & rescue, armed forces and prison service pension schemes where an appropriate valuation of 3 times the CETV value is not uncommon.
The report is produced manually and signed off by an actuary, is returned to you in only two working days and quickly and cost effectively calculates the value of a uniformed services pension. It includes a reconciliation to explain the major reasons for the differences. You can then discuss the findings of the report with your solicitor. See an example of the uniformed services valuation.
To order the actuarial £50 Uniformed Services Report, please complete the following enquiry form and our partner actuary Bradshaw Dixon Moore will email you the appropriate form for your particular uniformed service as a pdf* file you can print out and complete. Payment is only required once you have received the password protected pdf report file.

The Express Pension Valuation system used to calculate values works on a limited amount of data and thus cannot give a definitive value for a defined benefit (final salary) scheme. It is intended as a tool to determine what further action should be taken and it is not intended to be relied upon in court. Due to differences in the legal system, it is not suitable for use in any cases outside the UK. Where an individual is receiving payments under a pension the £50 Uniformed Services Report must not be used, as a different valuation method is required.
