Can Reservists join the new scheme?
No. Full Time Reservists have their own scheme which will be implemented in Apr 05. Members of the TA cannot join the scheme. Volunteer service with the TA is not pensionable, but TA personnel who are called-out may opt for MoD to bear the employer cost element of their civilian pension scheme or to be pensioned by MoD. Benefits may be payable to TA members where death or injury is due to Service.
