Choosing the 50/50 Section of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)

Important Information and Option form

There are two sections in the scheme from 1 April 2014 - the main scheme and the 50/50 scheme. The main scheme is the section you will be automatically placed in where you pay normal contributions and get the normal pension build up.

You will be able to elect to move to the 50/50 scheme if you wish. If you do so, you will then pay half the contributions but, whilst you are in the 50/50 scheme, you will only be building up half the normal pension. Regardless of the section you are in, you get full life cover, the death grant is unaffected.

It is important to fully complete this form:

Once completed, please return to YOUR EMPLOYER for processing NOT the Pension Section.
