Active Members' Annual Benefit Statements
Merseyside Pension Fund met its statutory requirement to produce an Annual Benefit Statement by 31st August 2026, for those active members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) as at 31st March 2026.
The figures quoted on Annual Benefit Statements provide an illustration for LGPS members and are not legally binding on the Fund. The total amount of benefits that a member would receive at retirement may be different. Members should request a pension estimate from their employer before making a decision to voluntarily retire after age 55.
2026 Active Annual Benefit Statements can be viewed securely by users who completed their 'MyPension' online registration on or after 27th January 2026.
Registered users who log [1] into their MyPension account and select 'Go to my documents' [2] in the 'Documents and uploads' section on their dashboard will be able to view, download and print a copy of their 2026 Active Annual Benefit Statement.
PLEASE NOTE:
Unfortunately, some members who may be expecting to see the 2026 Annual Benefit Statement in their 'MyPension' account, will either not receive one, or experience a delay. You can read more information here [3].
