Increasing Your Pension

When you retire we will pay you standard benefits based on the length of your pensionable membership and your final salary.

However, there ways you can increase your pension benefits and you may consider "topping up" your pension contributions. You can contact us if you are interested in any of the extra contribution choices.

We can help you with two ways of making extra pension provision for yourself and family - Additonal Voluntary Contributions and buying additional pension, but we have also given you some information about stakeholder pensions which the government have introduced in recent years.
