Deferred Pension

A random set of BAE images

Your entitlement to deferred benefits is worked out in the same way as for normal retirement based on your Pensionable Service and Final Pensionable Pay but only up to the date you leave. These benefits will be paid to you when you actually retire.

Certificate of Deferred Benefits
When you leave the Scheme, you will be given a Certificate of Deferred Benefits and it is important that you keep this safe. It is also important that you keep the Pensions Service Centre informed of any change of address to ensure that you can be traced when your benefits become due.
