Dear Brother/Sister,

REVISED COMMUTATION FACTORS FOR THE 1992 FIREFIGHTERS’ PENSION SCHEME (ENGLAND)

The Department for Communities and Local Government sent out a notification on 20 May 2014 outlining a revision of the 1992 FPS commutation factors. It is disappointing that the union was not given any prior notice to this change.
