Department for Education: Workplace Pensions

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether civil servants in her Department must submit their resignation in order to obtain a pension retirement quote from the Civil Service Pensions Scheme.

Answered by Olivia Bailey

Civil servants in the department must submit an application to retire (leave the Civil Service) before Civil Service Pensions can provide an accurate retirement quote. This allows the scheme administrator to confirm figures based on the member’s final circumstances at the point of exit.
