Annual Benefit Statements

Your annual benefit statement will be available on your online pension record (in ‘Member Documents’) by 31 August each year and will give details of the current value of your pension based on information provided by your employer.

The Local Government Pension Scheme changed from a final salary scheme to a career average revalued earnings (CARE) scheme on 1 April 2014. If you joined the pension scheme before 1 April 2014 your benefit statement will include information about your final salary benefits as well as your CARE benefits. Further information on the CARE scheme can be found at https://www.lgpsmember.org/

Your annual benefit statement contains detailed information about your pension benefits but a ‘quick guide’ is also available to be read alongside it.
