Local Government Pension Scheme in England and Wales - Access and Fairness

Closes 7 Aug 2025

Forfeiture Guidance  

In other public service pension schemes guidance is available to the scheme employer when making an application to the relevant body in cases of forfeiture, but no such guidance exists for the LGPS. The government proposes to publish guidance for forfeiture applications, and to work with the SAB in drafting such guidance.    

Q35 - Do you agree that there should be forfeiture guidance to assist employers in making applications?
