Transferring out of the LGPS

Guidance on how to transfer out of the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Transfer value for active scheme member

You cannot transfer your pension if:

  • you are actively contributing to the Local Government Pension Scheme in England or Wales
  • you are being paid a pension from the Local Government Pension Scheme in England or Wales

However, we can provide a Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) for:

  • use by a financial adviser
  • divorce purposes

We will provide you with one estimated CETV in a 12-month period.
