Your benefit

As a Revised Scheme member, you receive a defined benefit linked to your: 

• length of recognised service,
• final average salary (FAS),
• age.

 The defined benefit calculation also takes into account:  

• periods of leave without pay,
• part-time service, and
• prior service.

In the event of your death, the Revised Scheme will pay a benefit to surviving eligible dependants, including a partner, eligible children under age 18 (or 25 if full-time students) and disabled "adult children" within the meaning of section 35A of the State Superannuation Act 1988.

All Revised Scheme benefits are calculated using periods of service in completed years and days.

• resignation (including after becoming an Excempt Officer)
