When can I draw my deferred benefits if I left the LGPS before 1 April 2014?
Printer-friendly version
If you left the LGPS before 1 April 2014, your deferred benefits are normally payable at age 65.
However, there are two ways in which your deferred benefits can be paid earlier:
-
at your own request, or
-
due to permanent ill-health
Your deferred benefits increase in value every year, until payment. Your pension will continue to receive cost of living increases every year, as it is paid to you: as the cost of living increases, so will your benefits.
