entitlement for someone who has left the civil service after 10 years service?

[26cb]

Anybody know what the entitlement is for someone who has left the civil service after 10 years service ? 1978-1988 ?

Deferred pension from age 60 of 1/4 of the salary of your grade at that time + 3/8 tax free lump sum.

I presume.

But, don't take my word for it. Write to the superannuation section and find out.

Sounds possible oysterman - but the OP left before Pensions Act 1990, may be only entitled to a refund of contributions?

Deferred pension from age 60 of 1/4 of the salary of your grade at that time......

I think that 10 years would entitle you to 1/4 of the max pension at 60. Given that the max pension is 1/2 salary then your entitlement would be 1/8 salary.

SPM, you're right.....it occurred to me out of the blue today that I had multiplied 1/80 by 10 and got 20/80. Oops!


Regarding Capital's point this is why the OP needs to contact the relevant superannuation department.
