The pension entitlement of such appointees will be established in the context of their public service employment history. Key provisions attached to membership of the Single Scheme are as follows: (a)    Pensionable Age: The minimum age at which pension is currently payable is 66 (this is under review and will rise in line with changes in State Pension age). (b)    Retirement Age: Scheme members must retire on reaching the age of 70. (c)     Career average earnings are used to calculate benefits (a pension and lump sum amount accrue each year and are uprated each year by reference to CPI). (d)    Post retirement pension increases are linked to CPI. (e)    An individual who is on secondment will remain a member of the parent organisation’s pension scheme and the pensionable remuneration will be based on their substantive grade i.e., the grade at which the individual is employed in their parent organisation. (f)       An individual who was a member of a “preexisting public service pension scheme” as construed by the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 and who does not qualify for membership of the Single Scheme will have standard public service pension terms reflecting new entrant or nonnew entrant status for the purposes of the Public Service Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2004. k.           Pension Abatement If the appointee has previously been employed in the Civil or Public Service and is in receipt of a pension from the Civil or Public Service or where a Civil/Public Service pension comes into payment during their re-employment that pension will be subject to abatement in accordance with Section 52 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012. Please note: In applying for this position, you are acknowledging that you understand that the abatement provisions, where relevant, will apply. It is not envisaged that the employing Department/Office will support an application for an abatement waiver in respect of appointments to this position. However, if the appointee was previously employed in the Civil or Public Service and awarded a pension under voluntary early retirement arrangements (other than the Incentivised Scheme of Early Retirement (ISER), the Department of Health Circular 7/2010 VER/VRS or the Department of Environment, Community & Local Government Circular letter LG(P) 06/2013, any of which renders a person ineligible for the competition) the entitlement to that pension will cease with effect from the date of reappointment. Special arrangements may, however, be made for the reckoning of previous service given by the appointee for the purpose of any future superannuation award for which the appointee may be eligible. l.             Ill Health Retirement Please note that where an individual has retired from a Civil/Public Service body on the grounds of ill health their pension from that employment may be subject to review in accordance with the rules of ill-health retirement within the pension scheme of that employment. Applicants will be required to attend an appointed medical professional to assess their ability to provide regular and effective service taking account of the condition which qualified them for IHR. Appointment post ill health retirement from Civil Service If successful in their application through the competition, the applicant should be aware of the following: If deemed fit to provide regular and effective service and assigned to a post, their civil service ill health pension ceases. If the applicant subsequently fails to complete probation or decides to leave their assigned post, there can be no reversion to the civil service IHR status, nor reinstatement of the civil service IHRpension, that existed prior to the application nor is there an entitlement to same.                  i.     The applicant will become a member of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme (SPSPS) upon appointment if they have had a break in pensionable public/civil service of more than 26 weeks. Appointment post Ill health retirement from public service:                 ii.     Where an individual has retired from a public service body their ill-health pension from that employment may be subject to review in accordance with the rules of ill-health retirement under that scheme.               iii.      If an applicant is successful, on appointment the applicant will be required to declare whether they are in receipt of a public service pension (ill-health or otherwise) and their public service pension may be subject to abatement.               iv.      The applicant will become a member of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme (SPSPS) upon appointment if they have had a break in pensionable public/civil service of more than 26 weeks.
