Former members of the Scheme (Guaranteed minimum Pension equalisation – ‘GmPe’)
Former members of the Scheme may be entitled to a payment from the Scheme on account of an issue known as ‘GMPe’. If you were once a member of the Scheme between 1990 and 1997 but transferred your benefits to an alternative pension arrangement or if you have a relative who was a member of the Scheme (between 1990 and 1997 and they transferred an alternative pension arrangement) and has since died,then there may be an entitlement to a payment.
If you believe you or a relative fall into this category (and you have not already been contacted by theTrustee on account of GMPe),please provide details of your transfer to theTrustee in writing (together with your full name, present address,date of birth and copies of all documents which support your transfer) or, if you are writing in respect of a deceased relative, their full name, last address, date of birth and date of death.
