LPPA Enrolment Form

Welcome to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). You have been automatically enrolled in the main section of the Scheme and as a new member it is important that you complete this form so that along with information supplied by your employer we can create a pension record for this employment.

If you are worried that you can't afford to be a member of the main section of the Scheme, remember that the Scheme is flexible and when times are difficult you may opt for the 50/50 section. By choosing to pay half the contributions, you add just half the pension amount into your account, but you still keep the full value of your life and ill health cover. For further information about the Scheme and the 50/50 section please see our administrator’s website by clicking here.

For previous membership declaration and transfers, you have only 12 months from the point you join the scheme in this post to transfer any previous pension rights. You will not be given the opportunity to transfer after this period unless your scheme employer allows an extension to this 12 month deadline. It is very important that you give full and accurate information regarding ANY previous pension membership (including Local Government membership), even if you do not wish transfer this service, and even if you have already transferred the pension rights or received a refund of contributions, as this might affect your LGPS entitlement.
