These pages contain information for members and potential members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). Here you can view or download a copy of the Scheme Guide and the Expression of Wish form as well as our latest newsletter.
The LGPS is a public sector final salary pension scheme which provides a secure income in retirement, independent of share prices and stock market fluctuations.
To be eligible to join the LGPS, you need to have a contract of employment that is for at least three months, be under age 75 and work for an employer that offers membership of the Scheme. Membership is automatic for most eligible employees.
The LGPS provides:-
Since a new look LGPS was introduced in April 2008, it has been possible to nominate a co-habiting partner to receive a pension in the event of your death. Please note that this does not apply to you if you are married or in a civil partnership as your partner will automatically be eligible to receive a pension in the event of your death.
If you have a co-habiting partner but you have not yet nominated them to receive a survivor's pension in the event of your death, you can find a nomination form on our pages about the new look LGPS
If you have any comments or suggestions about what you would like to see included on these pages, we would be pleased to hear from you. For contact details, follow the link below.
