Deferred benefits
You will receive benefits if you keep your money in the Pension Scheme.
Your benefits will be preserved until you retire when you leave active membership of the Scheme.
Keeping your pension in the Pension Scheme
Your pension is worked out when you leave the Scheme, based on the amount of membership you have built up and your pay during your membership, in the same way as for retirement.
It is then held in the Scheme where it is revalued every year in line with the cost of living, until it is put into payment (or you choose to have a transfer out).
