Leaving the scheme
Guidance on available options when leaving the scheme
On leaving the Local Government Pension Scheme without an immediate entitlement to receive your benefits, you will have various options available to you:
- Retain Deferred Benefits within the Berkshire Pension Fund
- Transfer to another Local Government Pension Fund if you take up further employment with an employer who participates in the LGPS
- Transfer to a non-Local Government pension scheme such as a new employer's scheme or even a personal pension plan
- Refund of pension contributions (if you have less than 2 years of LGPS membership)
