How do I retire and access my pension after receiving my pension estimate?

Once you receive your estimate; if you decide to retire, you will simply need to hand in your notice to your employer. Your employer will provide you a Retirement Claim form (LGP1b).

Please complete this form alongside any certificates requested (such as a photocopy of your birth certificate or passport) and provide this to Merseyside Pension Fund.

Once we receive both your Retirement Claim form and a leaver form from your employer (confirming your final payroll details and your terms of leaving) we will then be in a position to calculate and pay your pension benefits.
