Claiming your Deferred pension benefits

Premature payment of deferred benefits is possible if your health breaks down before the Normal Pension Age (NPA), provided your former Scheme employer is satisfied that, had you remained in their employment, you would have been retired on the grounds of permanent ill health.

If your former Scheme employer no longer exists your request will be forwarded to the Administering Authority.

If you would like to investigate this further please put your request in writing (detailing the reasons for your application) to:

Royal County of Berkshire Pension Fund
Zone C 
Town Hall
Maidenhead
Berkshire
SL6 1RF

Alternatively, you can e-mail your written request to info@berkshirepensions.org.uk 

Upon receipt of your application, we will contact your former employer to request that they investigate the early release of your deferred pension benefits on ill-health grounds.
