You left employment before 1 April 2014 with an entitlement to a deferred refund and have now re-joined the LGPS

As you have now re-joined the LGPS, you are no longer eligible to take the refund of contributions. The benefits in respect of the deferred refund will automatically be transferred to, and buy an amount of earned pension, in your new active pension account.

 

If you have more than one active pension account (because you have more than one current employment in which you are contributing to the LGPS) you will need to decide which active pension account you wish the benefits from your deferred refund to be combined with.

 

The Normal Pension Age for the earned pension transferred over to your new active pension account will be the same as your State Pension Age.
