Top 5 things to know about your pension
  • It’s a ‘defined benefit’ scheme which means it’s not based on investment performance. We’ll use a ‘defined formula’ calculation to work out how much you’ll get and we’ll promise to give you a guaranteed future income each year when you retire.
  • You can take your benefits at any time from the age of 55 to 75.
  • The benefits you get include a pension and the option to take a tax free lump sum when you retire as well as immediate life cover and ill health protection.
