LGPS Consultation - Protected Pension Age

This may be of interest to LGPS members - the government has launched a consultation and is proposing to protect members who joined before 4 November 2021 to access their LGPS benefits from age 55.
For those who joined after this date, the Normal Minimum Pension Age will increase to 57 from 6 April 2028. More complex for those who transferred a pension arrangement into the LGPS.

I found the proposal to give access for councillors and mayors rather interesting as well!
Especially this point!- elected members will be permitted to transfer benefits in and out of the LGPS in the same way as other members, with the exception of final salary benefits
I will keep an eye on that aspect if they decided to go ahead with that in case! 1
