Hi, I received my annual statement from LGPS and it says my pension is protected by the underpin under the McLeod remedy and it was not possible for us to reflect your protection in this year statement. However we will include any relevant underpin figures in future years statements.
i’ll be 55 soon and might start to draw this pension not decided yet.
What is the bottom line with What are they saying? I will be getting more / less money,? I can take my pension earlier/later, I will have some more options ? it really doesn’t speak clearly

Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!1

Not less, because McCloud for the LGPS concerns an underpin only. However a strong majority of people in scope for a McCloud calculation (a majority that gets increasingly overwhelming the older the subset of members considered is) get no benefit from this underpin because the CARE scheme is so generous, i.e. the scheme changes in 2014 were to their benefit. However it's a massive faff for the administrator to come to that conclusion, since they need to collect and reconcile part time hour, service break and potentially 2008 scheme pensionable pay data from employers and payroll providers, maybe unwind then redo membership aggregations, etc. Some employers have changed payroll providers, let alone payroll systems, multiple times since 2014...I can take my pension earlier/later, I will have some more options ?
While that can be the case for other schemes affected by McCloud, neither of those scenarios are applicable for the LGPS.2 -
