EARLY RELEASE OF DEFERRED BENEFITS ON GROUNDS OF ILL HEALTH FOR THOSE WHO LEFT THE SCHEME BEFORE 1 APRIL 2008
You can apply to your former employer for the immediate payment of your scheme benefits on grounds of ill health.
If you had at least three months total membership or brought a transfer value into the LGPS and an approved and Independent Registered Medical Practitioner certifies that you are permanently incapable of carrying out your former job, you are entitled to immediate ill health benefits.
| Please Note | |
|
In accordance with the Pensions Increase Act 1971, if you are under age 55, annual pension increases before age 55 can only be awarded if an independent registered medical practitioner certifies that the medical condition would prevent you discharging efficiently the duties of your former job until age 65.
