When the LGPS changed to career average in 2014, older members were offered protection from the effect of the changes. This protection was later ruled by the courts to be discriminatory as it did not apply to younger scheme members.
The LGPS regulations changed on 1 October 2023 to remove this age discrimination. This is called the McCloud Remedy. You can find more about the Remedy at:
McCloud Age Discrimination Case | Hampshire County Council (hants.gov.uk)
including a link to the LGPS website, where you will find an explanatory vide, frequently asked questions and a checking tool to find out if the Remedy applies to you.
Hampshire Pension Services will automatically contact everyone who is affected by the Remedy. You do not need to do anything. We have many cases to deal with, so please be aware it will take some time to contact all affected members.
