POLICE PENSION SCHEME SCOTLAND 2015
Dear Colleague,
The Scottish Government has announced the design framework for police pensions from 2015. As expected the proposals mirror those advanced for England & Wales. This is an exceptionally disappointing development and one which is unfair on the women and men of the police service of Scotland; many of whom now face significant disruption and uncertainty over their financial future and working expectations.
The announcement is accompanied by a letter from the Cabinet Secretary for Justice. This can be viewed here.
The proposal itself can be viewed here with some accompanying worked examples and a calculator being available on the SPPA website in the near future. These can be viewed here.
An updated copy of the SPF booklet explaining CARE pensions is also attached and can be viewed here. Please note the important additions in red text.
Please read all the explanatory information contained in these documents and keep visiting this page for regular updates.
