Active members
If you are in scope for remedy you will be able to choose whether you want to receive your former scheme pension or new scheme pension for the remedy period at the point you retire. This is called Deferred Choice Underpin.
We have now produced and issued over 90% of all 2025 ABS and ABS-RSS (Annual Benefit Statement Remediable Service Statement). For more information about your ABS-RSS please see the statements page here.
Your record on My Pension should now show your legacy scheme for the remedy period (unless we haven't been able to produce a statement for you). All active members are now in FPS 2015 from 1 April 2022.
If you have not received a 2024 or 2025 ABS-RSS it means that we have not been able to produce it in our bulk production run. We are working through these cases manually and sending them individually as they are produced. This work will continue into early 2026.
To read all about the Remedy and to understand if you are in scope visit the national member FPS website here.
Deferred members
We didn't produce any 2024 DBS-RSS. We have decided to move on to the 2025 statements instead so members get the most recent benefit information.
We will begin producing 2025 Deferred Benefit Statement - Remediable Service Statements (DBS-RSS) in late October / November 2025 and we will tell you when your statement is available to view online.
Deferred members who are out-of-scope for remedy have a different production schedule which you can read about here.
Pensioner members
In August we wrote to members and promised to keep them updated regarding the progress made to issue them with an ‘Immediate Choice - Remediable Service Statement’ (IC-RSS) so they can choose their post-Remedy benefits.
We still cannot give a specific date for completion of this project and can only say that we are committed to providing all members with an IC-RSS as soon as we possibly can.
These complex adjustments cannot be automated and we’re using staff with specialist knowledge to look at each case manually. We have been trying to put more resources into this project by taking staff from other work areas, and we have started to clear more cases.
Payment of benefits
Where we have received a member’s IC-RSS decision we are paying any lump sum due within a few days and updating the pension on the next available payroll.
We continue to work with our software provider to try and develop a bulk calculation for some types of cases. There is no guarantee at this time that a bulk calculation will be available. If it is this will enable the remaining cases to be completed sooner. If or when a bulk calculation becomes available we will let you know and also provide some more specific time frames to calculate and send statements.
Any resulting adjustment to members pensions will be backdated and all arrears paid, along with interest paid the relevant rate of the scheme.
We will continue to keep this page updated.

The LGA have also produced two videos giving a summary of remedy which you may find useful. You can watch them on their website here along with the latest remedy FAQs too.
