Once you have worked out which section of the PCSPS you are currently a member of, you can visit www.civilservicepensionscheme.org.uk/members/the-new-pension-scheme-alpha/where-can-i-getmore-information/ to find out more about how the introduction of the new pension scheme may affect you. Please note that this is a general guide and is not definitive. This guide might not be appropriate for you if you have been compulsorily moved into the PCSPS from another public service pension scheme, as you could have a different Normal Pension Age (NPA - this is the earliest age that you can usually take your pension benefits without reduction). If you think this may apply to you, please check with your employer or your Pension Service Centre (PSC). If you are still unsure which scheme you are in, contact your PSC for confirmation. You can find their contact details here www.civilservicepensionscheme.org.uk/contact-us/mycsp-pension-service-centres/ by selecting the name of your employer. Have you found this guide helpful?
