Deferred members

Deferred Members

Deferred members are former members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) who have deferred their pension benefits until retirement age.

Deferred benefits are calculated on total membership and final pay to the date of leaving the LGPS. These benefits are increased annually in line with the retail price index. An annual benefit statement giving details of benefits will be issued to all deferred members.
