We’ll publish details of the Contingent Decision application process on our website once it is available. It will be open to all members who are in-scope of 2015 Remedy (McCloud), including those that have left or retired from the Civil Service. All Contingent Decision applicants will be asked to provide evidence on the basis of the original decision, to show it resulted from the age discrimination identified by the McCloud judgment. As we cannot guarantee that an application will be successful, please don’t make any decisions about your pension based on an assumption that an application will be agreed.
If a future Contingent Decision application is agreed, you will be provided with information about how the scheme proposes to adjust your pension, and whether there are any costs to be accounted for e.g. additional contributions to be paid where a period of opted-out service is being reinstated. You will have the chance to decide whether you wish to proceed at this stage.
