Original consultation Summary
We're seeking views on the proposed changes to the TPS
regulations to remedy the discrimination identified when the
scheme was reformed in 2015.
This consultation was held on another
website.
This consultation ran from 5pm on 27 March
2023 to 5pm on 4 June 2023
Consultation description
Changes to the TPS rules are necessary to
remedy the discrimination that was identified when the public
service pension schemes were reformed in 2015. These regulations
will result in all eligible members with reformed scheme service
being retrospectively returned to the legacy scheme.
All eligible members will then be offered a choice of benefits
(legacy or reform) at retirement for the remedy period
(1 April 2015 to 31 March 2022).
The consultation seeks responses from those likely to be affected
by the proposed regulations.
