Pensions Statements - 02/09/2024

 

Many of you will have received your pension statements in the post over the weekend. If you haven’t received it yet, you will soon.

 

You may find the information on your statement confusing. We advise you to look at the pensions FAQ via this link FAQs - policepensioninfo.co.uk

 

You can also contact the pensions administrator at Hampshire County Council pensions@hants.gov.uk, particularly if you do not believe that your pension statement is correct.

 

FEDERATION REPS ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO GIVE FINANCIAL ADVICE.

Before making any decisions, we suggest that you consider speaking to a financial advisor. You can find one here: www.unbiased.co.uk

 

You DO NOT have to make any decisions immediately. You can make the decision on whether or not to move to your alternative scheme at any point between now and when you retire.

 

The statement only gives your pension up age 60. Please be aware that everyone can retire at 55, some of you may be able to retire at your 30 year service point if you joined on the 1987 scheme.

 

Some of your questions may be answered here: Understanding your Remediable Service Statement (RSS) (polfed.org)

 

This is all new to us as fed reps and we are seeking advice from our national experts in order to assist you. Please bear with us.
