This forum ran from 23 November 2006 to 1 March 2007 and is now closed.
Thank you all very much for your many contributions to this discussion forum.
The statutory consultation period has now ended and this forum will close on Friday 2 March.
The aim of establishing this discussion forum was to facilitate and improve communication between members, administrators and Communities officials regarding the proposed LGPS Benefit Regulations. We regret that we were unable to provide responses to posts concerning individuals’ concerns about their particular pension. These are more suitable for the relevant pensions administering authority to resolve.
However, the debate that has taken place has illustrated that we were successful in achieving our principal goals.
Due to the success of this forum, we are launching The New-Look Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) – Post-Consultation forum (http://forum.communities.gov.uk/lgps2) from Monday 5 March. We hope that you will join us there for further discussions on the subject of the LGPS.
Finally, it would be gratefully appreciated if you would take a few moments to fill out the brief Hansard Society Survey on the right-hand-side of the screen. Your thoughts are highly valued.
Many thanks again.
Charlotte & the LGPS Team
