The Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 2018
These Regulations amend the Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions Regulations 2014 (the 2014 Regulations) (SI 2014/1964). The 2014 Regulations established a scheme for the payment of pensions and other benefits to civil servants and other eligible persons (“the Alpha scheme”). This is the third set of regulations to amend the provisions of the 2014 Regulations, and correct minor and technical issues that have been identified during the operation of the scheme and provide for the interaction of the Alpha scheme with the Partnership Pension scheme (a defined contributions scheme that is available as an alternative to the Alpha Scheme).
