An application for pension benefits due to redundancy must be submitted no more than 6 months after the redundancy date.
What the member needs to do
If a member wants to claim their pension benefits due to redundancy, they need to complete the Retirement benefits claim form (A8) (PDF:709KB). They should do this no more than 3 months before their retirement date.
Once completed, they need to send this to you.
You can read more about how a member makes a redundancy application on our Redundancy process page for members.
What you need to do
You should then complete the:
- employer part of the AW8 form
- Redundancy supplementary information checklist (PDF: 158KB)
- Retirement on grounds of interests of efficiency checklist (Word: 99KB), only if the redundancy is an Interest of Efficiency case
Before you send us the completed forms, you need to close the member’s record on Pensions Online. Close it on the grounds of redundancy. Use exit code 03.
You should then send us:
- the AW8 form, using Pensions Online
- the relevant checklist, by emailing [email protected]
If Pensions Online is not available, you can also send the AW8 to this email address.
