There is a bit in AFPS75 that refers to deferred Pension you can get at age 60

Deferred Pension
If you leave the Armed Forces but you have not completed the required years to receive an
immediate pension, a deferred pension is kept for you until pension benefit age. This is age 60
for Service before 6th April 2006, and age 65 for Service after 6th April 2006
Armed Forces Pension Scheme 1975
8
You will only be entitled to receive a deferred pension if you have completed at least 2 years of
qualifying service.
If your pension benefit age is age 65, you can ask for your deferred pension to be paid from age
60. However, the amount of pension will be reduced because it will be in payment for longer.
If, before reaching pension benefit age, you suffer from ill-health to the extent that you would be
incapable of undertaking your current employment and this incapacity will continue at least until
pension benefit age, you can request early payment of your deferred pension on ill-health
grounds.
A deferred pension is not paid automatically and should be claimed from the Scheme
Administrator (DBS Veterans UK) approximately 3 to 6 months before it is due to come into
payment. Form 8 can be found on www.gov.uk under Veterans UK Armed Forces Pensions
