Benefits built up before April 2011

If you were a member of the scheme before 1 April 2011, the benefits you earned before this date are treated differently to those built up on or after 1 April 2011.

We have made reference to these differences in the appropriate sections of the website. You may also wish to refer to an archive copy of the previous scheme guide.

We will work out your pre-April 2011 benefits in a similar way to a member who left the scheme on 31 March 2011. Salary increases on or before this date will be taken into account.

We will increase these benefits in line with retail prices inflation (RPI), up to 5%, for each year until we pay them.
