What scheme am I in?

Post by shazzbat »

I took my pension in 2010 ( when it was due to raise from 50 to 55 to access it) so what pension scheme will I be in?
I joined in 1978 , I took EVR in 2017. I presume I changed from my original pension.
Any help appreciated

Section B, which closed in 1987. Not sure what you mean by changed from your original pension. Did you rejoin RM at some point? Otherwise, if you didn't, then your pension is still section B.

No I was in Royal Mail continuously from 1978 till 2017. Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought that I’d been put into another scheme when I took my pension in 2010.
Glad that that’s not the case if I’m still in section B.

Many thanks

In 2008 the Final Salary pension closed. We went in to the Career Average or CARE scheme. This has an NRA of 65. Maybe that is what you are thinking of.

Did you use the contact details I gave you? What was their reply?
