Membership of the Scheme is open to:

This site contains information for members, former and retired members as well as employers and medical advisors.

There are two Sections to the Scheme, the 1995 section and the 2008 Section.

Viewing the 'Joining Flowchart' (PDF 198KB) will help identify which section of the Scheme a new member or returning member belongs.

Each year we review pensions in line with the Pensions Increase (Review) Order (Northern Ireland). This applies to Scheme pensioners or dependants in receipt of a pension. The only exception is if you are a pensioner under age 55 and you did not retire through ill health.

The rate of pension increase from 9 April 2012 is 5.2%

P60s will be issued to all pensioners by 31st May 2012.  A pay slip will also be issued for the month of May 2012.
