Information in your statement

Your deferred benefit statement contains any relevant pension changes that may have occurred during the year. It also includes details of:

  • the current value of your pension benefits including pension increase
  • details of who you have nominated to receive the payment of any lump sum death grant.

It is important to note that your statement is for illustration purposes only. It is based on the information we hold on your account up to the date of the statement.

Change in legislation

The earliest age that you can take a pension is known as the Normal Minimum Pension Age (NMPA). The government announced that the earliest age that you can take your pension will be age 57 from 6 April 2028.  Currently it is age 55. This does not apply to retirements on ill health which can be paid at any age.
