Your benefits at retirement

When you reach retirement, as a Section A member, you will receive:

  • a pension for life; and
  • a lump sum of three times your pension.

Both of these are based on your Pensionable Service and Final Pensionable Salary.

The lump sum is tax-free (under current law) as long as it does not exceed one quarter of the standard Lifetime Allowance at that time.

Your can find out how these are worked out by referring to the Section A Member Booklet.
