Regulation 24 Normal retirementI1
England, Wales and Scotland Not yet in force
If a member who has attained his normal retirement age retires from a local government employment, he is entitled to a pension and retirement grant.
The pension and grant are payable immediately.
The normal retirement date (“NRD”) of a member who was not a member immediately before the commencement date is his 65th birthday.
The NRD of a member who was a member immediately before the commencement date is–
if on the day before his 60th birthday he has total membership of at least 25 years, that birthday;
if the date when he first has such total membership is on or after his 60th birthday but before his 65th birthday, the day after that date; and
otherwise, his 65th birthday.
A member’s “normal retirement age” is his age on his NRD.
If a member’s NRD or normal retirement age needs to be determined before he attains that age, it must be assumed that his local government employment and membership of the Scheme will be continuous.
