Member Booklets, Scheme Rules and Forms

Please note that the Scheme Rules and booklets set out the pension benefits that are available up to 31 March 2009. Pension benefits built up after 31 March 2009 are on a different basis and are set out in the booklet “Changes to the BT Pension Scheme from April 2009”, which was sent to each member of the Scheme, and is also available on the BT intranet at http://dev.btpensionsreview.net/CMS/allDocuments/BTPS_changes_booklet.pdf  The Scheme booklets are currently being updated and will be placed on this website as soon as they are available.
