Civil Service Compensation Scheme & Alpha Pension

drummersdale

Hi not sure if anyone can offer any advice or if it’s the wrong forum.  I am 60 next February and there is a possibility of Voluntary Redundancy on Civil Service Compensation Scheme terms in the near future.  I took partial retirement (2.5 days a week) at the beginning of August after completing almost 41 years service.  Most of my service was in Classic but am currently in Alpha.  The CSCS mentions Normal Pension Age as one of the criteria governing the terms (as well as minimum pension age in some instances). So given I am in Alpha currently is my NPA 67 years of age (my state pension age)?  It makes a big difference to the calculations as if it’s treated as 60 (Classic NPA) then I would effectively get around 6 months salary but if it’s Alpha NPA then I would expect to get more given my length of service.  As I mentioned at the beginning this may not be the right forum as it’s not necessarily pension related so if not, apologies.

Edit: Think this was the wrong forum for this question - apologies but don’t know how to delete it.

It is alpha NPA which is used, as that is your current active pension scheme.
