Open consultation
Local Government Pension Scheme – amendments to the statutory underpin
Published 16 July 2020
From:
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
Applies to:
Wales and England
Summary
We are consulting on proposals to remove age discrimination from the Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales (LGPS).
This consultation closes at
11:45pm on 8 October 2020
Consultation description
The courts have found transitional protections given to older members in the judicial and firefighters’ pension schemes directly discriminated against younger members in those schemes.
In line with a government commitment to remove the difference in treatment from all public service pension schemes with similar protections, we are seeking views on proposals that would extend LGPS statutory underpin protection to younger members of the scheme.
