LPFA - your pension our worldHackney Pensions
Welcome to the Hackney Pensions site administered by the London Pensions Fund Authority.
The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a statutory, funded pension scheme. As such it is very secure because its benefits are defined and set out in law. The LGPS is contracted-out of the State Second Pension (S2P) and must, in general, provide benefits at least as good as most members would have received had they been members of S2P.
The LGPS is a national scheme with each administering authority, county councils and London boroughs for example, have their own pension fund and membership. Hackney's own fund membership at 31st March 2008 was over 15,800 which included some 4,900 active members, 5,500 pensioners and 5,400 deferred pensioners.
