Bulletin 13: Notice of upcoming Annual Benefit Statements 2021
Please can I ask all employers to remind their LGPS members that their Annual Pension Statements are published to their online ‘Member Self-Service’ accounts by 31 August each year. If your members have already registered for this service, they will receive an email from Pensions to notify them when their statement is available for viewing. New users of Member Self-Service will need to register first, for which they will need to have their National Insurance number handy.
Local Government Pension Scheme: Annual Pension Statements coming soon
Each year at the end of August, Annual Pension Statements are made available for members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) by the County Council’s Pensions Team. The statements show the value of your LGPS pension up to the end of the previous tax year as well as a projection of what would be payable should you retire at your State Pension Age and also an illustration of Death Benefits that may be payable.
To access your statement, plus other facilities including the ability to perform your own pension calculations as well as being able to send and receive your pension documents securely, you simply need to register for an account on the Pensions Member Self-Service website. This is quick and easy to do – all you need is your National Insurance number and a personal email address.
To register, or login to your existing Member Self-Service account
You can also find plenty of information about the LGPS in general and links to other pension-related websites.
Thank you for your assistance with this. If you have any queries regarding this, please email Stuart Wells or call 0116 305 6944
