McCloud judgement and your statement
Any impact of the McCloud judgment will not be reflected in your 2025 deferred benefit statement, but will be included in future statements where applicable. If you qualify for protection it will apply automatically - you do not need to make a claim.
About the McCloud judgement (remedy)
When the LGPS changed from a final salary to a career average pension scheme in 2014, protections for older scheme members were introduced.
Similar protections were provided in other public sector pension schemes. The Court of Appeal ruled that younger members of the Judges’ and Firefighters’ Pension schemes have been discriminated against because the protections do not apply to them. The government confirmed that there will be changes to all main public sector schemes, including the LGPS, to remove this age discrimination. This ruling is often called the ‘McCloud judgment’.
The Local Government Association (LGA) have produced information about the McCloud remedy for members. It includes key dates, FAQs, and an online tool to find out if you are affected. Find out about the McCloud remedy in the LGPS for members
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) (now called Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government) have produced a factsheet summarising the McCloud judgement and the changes the government are making to the LGPS.
