New LGPS Regs from 1st April 2008 mean that anyone with a contract of more than three months will be bought into the LGPS automatically. A refund of contributions can only be made if a member opts out of the scheme within three months.0

<Lips sealed> ...but its so tempting....I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0
