This section of the website provides guidance on retiring from the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Please follow the links below to find out more about how retirement benefits are calculated and when they can become payable.

If you will be retiring from your employment soon, or you would like further information on your individual benefits payable on retirement please contact the pension team directly on 01628 796 668. Alternatively you can e-mail us on info@berkshirepensions.org.uk

Important: If you are intending to retire and claim your pension before your Normal Pension Age, a minimum three month notice period is required by the pension team. Please e-mail your notice to info@berkshirepensions.org.uk 

If you are claiming your pension from your NPA or beyond we do not require a separate period of notice. We will automatically contact you on receipt of your leaving details from your employer.
