Pensions

Leaving a University pension scheme

You do not loose your pension benefits when you leave the University.

Your scheme will write to you with your leaver's options within two months of you leaving: it is very important that the Pensions Office has a contact address so that you can receive your information promptly.

If you are moving to another University, please let the Pensions Office know so that the correct forms can be completed.

If you leave any of the University schemes, your options will depend on your length of membership:

• Refund of Contributions
• Deferred Benefits (requires your specific request)

• Deferred Benefits (leaving it in the scheme)
• Transfer to another occupational scheme
• Transfer to a private policy
