The McCloud Remedy
The LGPS rules changed from 1 October 2023. When public service pension schemes changed from final salary schemes to career average schemes in 2014 and 2015, older members were protected from the changes. The 2023 changes are called the McCloud remedy. They remove the age discrimination found in the McCloud court case. Now younger members may also benefit from these protections. Follow the link to find out if you are affected.
