When you retire you will get a pension and tax-free lump sum. Your annual pension will be 1/80 of the best of your last three years pensionable pay for each year of Scheme membership. Part years of membership will also count towards your pension. This will usually be paid for the rest of your life. Your lump sum will normally be 3 times your yearly pension. If you are a married man with membership before 1 April 1972 please write to the Pension Section.

There are some limits on the amount that can count for benefits. These are:

• not more than 40 years at the age of 60, if you joined after 31 May 1989
• not more than 40 years at the age of 60 and not more than 45 years at the age of 65, if you joined the pension scheme before 1 June 1989

If you are thinking of retiring between the ages of 60 and 65 and you will have less than 25 years membership please contact the Pension Section as it is possible that your benefits might be subject to a reduction
