Leaving your job before retirement
You may leave your job before you want to take your pension.
If you have met the the two year vesting period [1] when you leave, you will have deferred benefits in the LGPS.
If you have not met the vesting period [2], you could choose to take a refund of the pension contributions you have paid. You may be able to transfer the value of your LGPS pension to another pension arrangement after you leave.
