Keeping you informed

We keep in touch in various ways depending on your status within the Scheme.

Active Members

Annual Benefit Statements (ABS)

Each year we will send you a statement showing you an estimate of your benefits. ABS’s are a statement you check on how your pension benefits are growing each year.

You should not decide to retire based on the information in your ABS as the benefits shown are estimated values only. If you are thinking of retiring, please contact the Pensions Team for an individual estimate which will be tailored to your exact retirement date and pay details.

It is very important that when you receive your statement, you check that all the details are correct. If you identify any inaccuracies, please notify your employer as they provide the data to the Fund to produce your ABS.
