If you leave your job before retirement and have met the 2 years vesting period
You will have built up an entitlement to a pension.
You will have two options in relation to that pension entitlement:
-
you can choose to keep your benefits in the LGPS. These are known as deferred benefits [1] and will increase every year in line with the cost of living, or
-
alternatively, you may be able to transfer [2] your deferred benefits to another pension arrangement.
