About the Firefighters’ Pension Schemes

An overview of the current schemes in operation. Each scheme has its own set of rules which are set out by the government.

What is the 2015 Remedy?

Following a legal challenge known as Sargeant, the courts determined that the protections provided to members were age discriminatory.

Introduction of PSP&JO Bill

On 19 July 2021, HM Treasury (HMT) introduced the Public Service Pensions & Judicial Offices Bill (PSP&JO Bill) to the House of Lords.

Prospective remedy

All remaining protected members who are not currently members of FPS 2015 will transfer into this scheme on 1 April 2022.

Transition members

A transition member is a person who has built up service in either the FPS 1992 or FPS 2006 before moving into the FPS 2015.

Welcome

Welcome to the Firefighters' Pension Schemes Member website. The site has been developed to give scheme members information about the benefits and options available to them.

The site is based on current scheme rules that apply. Changes to the schemes are going to take place in 2022 and 2023 to remove age discrimination found by the courts. The site will be updated in line with those changes when they happen.

You can find out more about these changes in the News section.
