This site is for current and prospective members of the Civil Service pension arrangements.  It also contains links to information for past members and scheme pensioners.

This website provides information about the main provisions of the Civil Service pension and compensation arrangements.  It does not cover every aspect; the full details are contained only in the scheme rules, which are the legal basis of the arrangements.  You should note that nothing on this website can override the main rules, and in the event of any differences the rules will apply.

If you want to find out more about your Civil Service pension, this is the site for you!
