Every year you will be sent an Annual Benefit Statement (ABS) by your FPS administrator.
Your statement shows the value of your pension that you have built up to 31 March that year and may include projections of your pension if you were to keep contributing to your normal pension age. The statement is normally available by the end of August.
If you have any enquiries about any of the details on the statement you should contact your FPS administrator.
To find out who administers your FPS pension please visit Contacting your Firefighters' Pension Scheme administrator.
Remedy and your ABS
If you are eligible for remedy, from 2024, you should receive an ABS that illustrates the rolled back position for your pension benefits for the remedy period (1 April 2015 to 31 March 2022).
Some administrators may be in a position to combine your ABS with your Remediable Service Statement (RSS), which will illustrate your comparative benefits between your reformed and legacy scheme (FPS 1992, FPS 2006, Special FPS 2006) for the remedy period and is known as an Annual Benefit Statement Remediable Service Statement (ABS-RSS). If they have not been able to this year, you should receive a separate RSS by 31 March 2025, and should start to receive a combined ABS-RSS from August 2025.
You can find more information regarding your ABS-RSS on the Age Discrimination Remedy - Annual Benefit Statement Remediable Service Statement page of the website.
You can also find more information regarding remedy in the Sargeant Remedy section of the website.
