The 50/50 section

The LGPS 50/50 section offers you the flexibility to pay half your normal contribution rate and build up half your normal pension whilst retaining full life and ill-health cover. The 50/50 section is designed to help members stay in the scheme and build up valuable pension benefits during times of financial hardship.

If you want to move to the 50/50 section, complete the 50/50 election form and return it to your employer.

Find more about the 50/50 option and its potential impact on your benefits on the LGPS website.
