Increased benefits
You may be purchasing:
- additional membership in the LGPS (facility removed from 1 April 2008); and/or
- additional pension via ARCs (facility removed from 1 April 2014)
Please note that these were historic facilities that have since been removed from the scheme. However, any elections made before the facilities were removed are able to continue for the term of the contract.
We have produced a factsheet called ‘Topping up my LGPS benefits’, which gives you more information about some of these options.
Please note that any decision to pay extra contributions should be carefully considered and you may wish to take independent financial advice before making any decisions. You can find a list of Independent Financial Advisers in your area at www.unbiased.co.uk.
