Pension supplement lump sum

[aled34]

I know you don’t get the supplements if you carry on working at Royal Mail after your NR 60/65 age, but was wondering, if you did carry on working after your NR 60/65 , does the supplement get included in your total pension pot for the 25% lump sum element of your pension? Seems unfair to not get anything if you keep on working!

I can't see how it would if you are still working. Surely it should be based on your entitlement depending on your choices....which, for you, is remaining at work so no supplement and no consideration of this in the LS.

There was someone on here a few weeks back who had asked the PSC the same question, and they'd said that if you're still in RM employment the supplement isn't included when working out the total pot value and so the max lump sum.
