This will assist you in identifying which scheme membership is applicable to your employment circumstances. (a) If you have been continually employed in the public service prior to the 1st April 2004 and you have not had a break in service of more than 26 weeks, you will be included in the Voluntary Hospital Superannuation Scheme (Non-New Entrant) with a Minimum Retirement Age of 60 and a Maximum Retirement Age of 70.

The compulsory retirement age of 65 has been removed Pension benefits for new entrants will accrue on a standard basis (i.e., one year’s credit for one year’s service up to a maximum of 40 years’ service) while normal abatement of pension provision will apply to all public sector posts. With effect from 1st January 2013, it is a condition of the appointment of new entrants to the public service* that you be a member of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme. Please see information booklet enclosed If you have commenced employment in the public service as a new entrant or you are a former public servant, returning to the public service after a break of more than 26 weeks, you will be included in the Single Public Service Pension Scheme effective from the 1st January 2013 with a minimum retirement age of 66 in 2018 (rising to 67 in 2021 and 68 in 2028 in line with state pension changes).
