Do you have any members of staff who are coming up to retirement age? If so, please encourage them to start thinking about completing their retirement application sooner rather than later. We recommend that members start the application process three to four months prior to the date they’d like to draw their pension.

If they’d like any further information on their options, please direct them to our online resources on our website. The ‘planning retirement’ page has a variety of resources including FAQs, all the forms they need, some handy calculators and a video to help guide them through the process.
