Retired Members

This section is for those receiving a pension from the Lothian Pension Fund.

Help us improve our services by taking our retired members annual survey.  You can see our recent survey results on our performance section. 

Pension increase for 2012

Pension increases from April 2012 are linked to the Consumer Prices Index annual change to September 2011.  The change in September was 5.2%.  However, we have not yet received the Pensions Increase Order 2012 confirming that this figure will be used.

Although we expect the figure of 5.2% to be used, we can not confirm this until we receive the confirmation from the Goverment. We will confirm the figure as soon as it is known here on our website, in the Spring edition of Penfriend and in the April payslip.

If you receive more than one tax code for the tax year beginning 6 April 2011, you should contact
HMRC. Payroll Services are unable to assist with this coding notice.  You can find more infromation in our Tax section.

Getting a new job

If you start working again after you retire, sometimes your pension is affected. Find out if you could be affected on the re-employment section or Local Government Pension Scheme website.
