Pension remedy: online webinars being held for members

27 November 2024

A series of online sessions are being held for Derbyshire Police Federation members to gain a better understanding of the pension remedy.

The sessions are being run by No1 CopperPot, one of the UK’s biggest police credit unions.

They will be hosted by Tim Jackson QPM, a former chief superintendent with Cheshire Police and National Secretary of the Police Superintendents’ Association (PSA).

Tim played a key role in dealing with the consequences of the police pension reforms. Collaborating with the Police Federation of England and Wales, he gained extensive knowledge of the police pension schemes and associated tax issues and is now sharing that knowledge with members in three webinars.

The first will be held at 10 am on 9 December. The second is at 6pm on 10 December. And the third will be at 3pm on 16 December.

Tim will cover:

Overview of the three police pension schemes
Explanation of the remedy, its purpose, and impact on benefits
Details of the Deferred Choice Underpin (DCU)
Insights into Remedial Service Statements (RSS) changes and contribution adjustments
Information on paying additional contributions or receiving refunds, with their implications
Dedicated time for questions and answers
