Original consultation

Summary

We're seeking views on the proposed changes to the TPS regulations to remedy the discrimination identified when the scheme was reformed in 2015.

This consultation was held on another website.

This consultation ran from
5pm on 27 March 2023 to 5pm on 4 June 2023

Consultation description

Changes to the TPS rules are necessary to remedy the discrimination that was identified when the public service pension schemes were reformed in 2015. These regulations will result in all eligible members with reformed scheme service being retrospectively returned to the legacy scheme.

All eligible members will then be offered a choice of benefits (legacy or reform) at retirement for the remedy period (1 April 2015 to 31 March 2022).

The consultation seeks responses from those likely to be affected by the proposed regulations.
