If you built up pension in the LGPS before 1 April 2015, you must tell your local pension fund if you return to work for local government after you take your pension. This also applies if you return to work for another employer who offers membership of the LGPS. You must do this whether or not you join the LGPS in your new job. The local pension fund that pays your pension will let you know if your pension needs to be reduced to take account of your new earnings.
If you have only built up pension in the LGPS from 1 April 2015, you do not need to let your local pension fund know if you return to work for local government or another employer who offers membership of the LGPS.
If you took flexible retirement, your pension will not be reduced whilst you continue to work for the employer that granted you flexible retirement. However, if you leave that employer and return to work in local government, or for another employer that offers membership of the LGPS, you must tell your local pension fund about your new job if any your pension was built up before 1 April 2015. This also applies whether or not you join the LGPS in your new job.
