Longevity Adjustment Factor

Longevity Adjustment Factor

For service on and after 1 April 2012, to protect the Scheme against increases to life expectancy beyond those underpinning the Scheme's 2011 triennial valuation, a longevity adjustment factor will be applied to benefits coming into payment.  Pensions coming into payment before 1 April 2015 are unaffected.
