Scheme Information
The Local Government Pension Scheme is governed by a Trust Deed and Rules, dated 1 April 2014, as amended from time to time. The provisions of the Scheme are summarised in a Scheme Guide which is issued to all members when they join the Scheme and updated from time to time. If there is a conflict between the Scheme Guide and the Trust Deed and Rules, the Trust Deed and Rules prevail.
Further Information:
A death benefit lump sum may be payable following your death. Completing a nomination form allows you to tell the Administering Authority of the Scheme how you would like any lump sum death benefit to be distributed. The Administering Authority will take account of your form, but are not bound by any nomination. Your nomination form should be updated to reflect changes to your current circumstances, for example, if you marry, divorce or have children.
