No longer paying in
Whether you've just left or you are about to retire you can find out all about your benefits here.
If you leave the LGPS, you are entitled to “deferred benefits”.
We will send you a statement showing how these have been worked out and your normal retirement date under the scheme.
Membership benefits
Your benefits are worked out when you leave the Scheme, based on how long you have been a member and your pay when you leave.

Survivor benefits
If you die before you take your deferred benefits, the Scheme makes sure that your survivors are supported. The benefits are based on your final pay and the membership you had built up on the day you left the Scheme.
