Deferred Members' Annual Benefit Statements

Merseyside Pension Fund met its statutory requirement to produce 2026 Annual Benefit Statements by 31st August, for former members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) whose deferred benefits are retained in the Fund until they become payable or are transferred out.

Annual Benefit Statements are produced using information supplied to us by the member's former LGPS employer, and cannot be guaranteed as accurate. They are produced on the understanding that they are not legally binding on Merseyside Pension Fund.

2026 Deferred Annual Benefit Statements can be viewed securely by users who completed their 'MyPension' registration on or after 27th January 2026.

Registered users can log into their MyPension account and see the value of their deferred benefits after April 2026's annual cost of living increase set by the Government.
