The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) in Scotland is a funded, defined benefit, statutory occupational pension scheme and it is one of the main public service pension schemes in Scotland.  As at 31 March 2009 it had in total 225,035 active members; 87,390 deferred members and 147,961 pensioners and dependants.  The Scottish Public Pensions Agency is responsible for regulating the Scheme, but it is administered by fund administering authorities, of which there are 11 in Scotland.

Members should have received an “easy to read” guide for the Local Government Pension Scheme from their Pension Fund administrator but if you have not already done so, do not hesitate to contact them direct to obtain a copy.

If you are a member of the LGPS and have an enquiry in respect of the scheme regulations please contact, in the first instance, your pension Fund administrator direct.

Contact details for each Pension Fund can be accessed on the Links page.
