We’ve been working on updating member Benefit Statements to reflect the Transitional Protection changes.

Members impacted by Transitional Protection will now be able to view an ‘Benefit Statement - RSS’ on their My Pension Online (MPO) account. This replaces the Benefit Statement and shows the two options affected members will need to choose between when they come to retire.

Similar to the Benefit Statement, it shows any flexibilities and family benefit as well as a breakdown of the Transitional Protection options.

In most cases you don’t need to decide which option you want at the moment – you’ll be asked to choose once you submit a retirement application. However, if you wish to purchase Retrospective Additional Pension (for final salary service) you need to do this within the next six months. You can find out more about this and if you’re eligible on our website (This link opens in a new window).

To understand the new Benefit Statement - RSS, we’ve created a short walkthrough guide (PDF, 530 KB) (This link opens in a new window), you can also read our FAQs (This link opens in a new window).

To view your Benefit Statement you will need to log in to MPO (This link opens in a new window). If you haven't got an account you can register on our website (This link opens in a new window).
