Public Sector: Workplace Pensions

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 2 April 2025UIN 41298

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether some public sector pension schemes have a retire and return option.

Answered by Darren Jones

It is possible for members of the main statutory Public Service Pension Schemes to return to public service employment after retiring and taking pension. The rules on further employment of individuals who are in receipt of relevant pension benefits are set out in scheme regulations for each of the workforces. Some Public Service Pension Schemes also allow for partial retirement, where a member can draw their accrued pension and continue working.
