Transfer

I would like to transfer a previous pension

If you have started employment and joined the LGPS within the last 12 months, it is usually possible to transfer in previous pensions from other providers. These providers could include previous Local Government Pension Fund membership, other occupational schemes, personal or stakeholder pensions, and Additional Voluntary Contribution plans.

You must decide whether or not to transfer your previous pension rights within the first 12 months of joining the LGPS with your current employer.

If you have been in your current employment for more than 12 months, you cannot transfer previous benefits unless both your employer and LGSS Pensions agree to an extension. An extension will usually only been granted if the reason for not doing this within the first 12 months was outside of your control.

Transfers from another LGPS Fund in England and Wales

If you have previous pension benefits in the LGPS (England and Wales), please include this information on the Membership Information Form and we will automatically transfer these benefits for you, unless you elect not to have the benefits transferred.

Other Pension Benefits

If you wish to transfer in benefits from an LGPS fund outside of England and Wales or benefits with another pension scheme then please complete the Transfer In Pack (Non England and Wales LGPS).  Once received, we will request your pension information from your previous scheme provider and calculate a Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV).  This will be provided to you in writing, so you can make an informed decision as to whether to transfer or not.
