We’ve recently updated our FAQs for both members and employers on our website. As well as introducing some new questions, we’ve also made it easier to find the answers you need by breaking the FAQs down into sections: -

• Introduction
• The changes to the Scheme
• Who is affected?
• Period of service
• What does a member need to do?
• What changes will a member see and when?
• Flexibilities
• Retirement
• Annual allowance.

We’ve added questions based on feedback from queries asked to our frontline staff, through unions and through employer groups we communicate with.

One of the key questions we’re being asked by members is ‘Am I affected?’ If you’re being asked the same thing, you may find it useful to signpost to our simple flowchart (PDF, 63 KB) (This link opens in a new window) to help them understand.

We’ll continue to update the FAQs and add more resources to our website as more information is provided to us.
