Police Pension Scheme

Scheme Protection

The 2015 Scheme came into force on 1 April 2015, but not all active members of the 2006 Scheme will have transferred over to the 2015 Scheme immediately, as protection is afforded to two groups:

  • Transitional Protected member
  • Tapered Protected member

A Transitional Protected member was an active member of the 2006 scheme with 10 years or less until their current Normal Pension Age as at 1 April 2012. Such members have been afforded full protection and will NOT have been moved into the 2015 scheme.

A Tapered Protected member was an active member of the 2006 Scheme, aged between 41 and 45 years as at 1 April 2012.

Tapered Protected members will move into the 2015 scheme on a tapered basis.

Please Note

All members that are not protected will have transferred into the 2015 scheme from 1 April 2015.
