Retirement

Any LGPS membership that you have accrued up to 31 March 2014 is based on a protected retirement age of 65; this is fixed and cannot change. Therefore, different retirement ages may apply to pre 1 April 2014 and post 31 March 2014 membership, meaning that any reductions applied on early retirement may differ.

If you have 2 years or more total membership or you have a qualifying period of service for 2 years or more, you will be entitled to benefits when you retire.
