I left the LGPS after 31 March 2014
Your deferred benefits are normally payable at your Normal Pension Age [1] in the LGPS. Your Normal Pension Age is linked to your State Pension Age [2] (but with a minimum of age 65).
They can be paid earlier, or later than your Normal Pension Age.
There are two ways they can be paid earlier and these are:
- early payment of deferred benefits at your request [3], or
- early payment of deferred benefits due to permanent ill-health [4]
