If you leave service having contributed to the Plan for more than 3 months you can elect to to leave your personal account invested in the Plan until you retire.

Interest and investment returns will continue to increase your Account, although you will not be allowed to pay further contributions after you have left employment.

You will receive an annual statement of your account, so it is important that you keep us notified of any changes of address, marital status or your beneficiaries.

You can keep the pension team informed of these changes through the online forms available through the Member’s area of this website, or by writing to the pensions team.

If your circumstances change, you can elect to transfer your benefits or apply for a retirement once you become eligible.
