Defence Fire and Rescue Service: Workplace Pensions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will provide Defence Fire and Rescue Service workers an early pension get out clause at 57.
Answered by Maria Eagle
As Civil Servants, the Defence Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS) workforce pension scheme is administered by My Civil Service Pension and in accordance with MOD policy. Each occupation group can only apply the rules, in which Trade Unions have been consulted, associated with their particular pension scheme. Members of the DFRS continue to be subject to a Normal Retirement Age (NRA) of 65 but they may request approval to continue working beyond the NRA.
