What happens to your pension if you leave?
If you have 2 years or more of membership, your benefits will usually become deferred benefits and can remain in the LGPS until you are ready to take them.
✓ Your pension will increase each year in line with inflation (CPI).
✓ You can leave your benefits in the LGPS until you are ready to retire.
✓ You may be able to transfer or combine your benefits in the future.
