Just to let you know…

You may be aware of a recent age discrimination ruling that has had an impact on members of certain workplace pension schemes. Here’s a quick update on who it affects and what you can expect:  

  

Local Government Pension Scheme members  

For anyone who retired before 1 April 2014, you will not be affected by the McCloud case. Plus legislation was applied to anyone who retired after 1 April 2014, to make sure you don’t miss out on any payments. While there is unlikely to be any change to your pension payments, we will contact you if you are affected at all.  For more information please visit Remedy update.  

Police Scheme members  

We will be carrying out checks once we have more details in October 2023. At this point, we’ll be contacting all members who retired after 1 April 2015. 

For more information please visit our Remedy update.

Firefighters’ Scheme members  

We will be carrying out checks once we have more details in October 2023. At this point, we’ll be contacting all members who retired after 1 April 2015.
