All forms can be found at the link below ; https://www.lppapensions.co.uk/members/schemes/local-government-scheme/forms-and-documents/
I want to...
Reduce my contribution
As an alternative to opting out, there is an option to stay in the Scheme but pay a reduced contribution.
Increase my pension
There are two ways you can pay more to top up your pension.
Leave the scheme
If you leave the Scheme before you retire, you can choose what to do with your pension in the Pension Scheme.
Opt-out
If you wish to cancel your membership you're free to opt out from your next pay period.
Register a death
When you die it is important that whoever is looking after your affairs lets us know as soon as possible.
What happens if I change my address?
If you change your address, please contact us.
What happens if I change my bank or building society details?
If you change your bank or building society details you must let us know by completing the change of bank details form, found in our resources section.
What happens if I move overseas?
We can continue to pay your pension to a UK bank or building society account.
We may be able to make payment via an International Payment Service for which you may have to pay a small monthly fee. This is available for most but not all countries and you need to be aware that the amount of pension you'll receive each month will depend on the exchange rate at the time of each payment. If you would like to have your pension paid to an overseas bank account please contact us for a form.
How will my divorce impact my pension?
You and your partner will need to consider how to treat your pension as part of any divorce/dissolution settlement. More information can be found on Gov.uk here.
Life cover
As a member of the Scheme you have valuable life cover, which for most members includes a lump sum paid on your death. If you have not completed an Expression of Wish form setting out your payment preferences, or if you would like to make any changes following a previous Expression of Wish, you can find a template form on our 'Resources' page.
