Overview

The LGPS protects members by paying their pension straight away if they’re too ill to work at any age. Ill health is the most common subject of formal dispute under the Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure. So, as an employer you should make sure you follow the correct processes when making ill health pension decisions.

Please choose the guidance relevant to the type of member whose case is being considered. A member may be both an active and a deferred member, so you may need to follow processes and guidance for both.
