GAD provides actuarial advice to many of the UK public service occupational pension schemes, including schemes for teachers, the National Health Service, and the armed forces.
Our advice is usually provided to the managers of the scheme. Enquiries about public sector pension schemes from scheme members, the general public or the pensions industry should first be addressed to the relevant scheme’s managers or administrators. The links page of this website contains links to the websites of the main public sector pension schemes.
We advise government departments on guarantees, or other obligations, in respect of public sector (or formerly public sector) pension schemes.
We also advise governments and public sector organisations in other countries on their public sector pension arrangements.
Scheme summaries
These summaries set out the schemes’ key features only. They are not a definitive description of the schemes’ benefits. Further details can be obtained from the relevant scheme’s managers or administrators.
Unfunded public sector schemes cashflow projections
In 2006, HM Treasury commissioned GAD to produce projections of cashflows in respect of all UK unfunded public sector pension schemes. The results of these projections were included in the 2006 long-term public finance report, published alongside the 2006 Pre-Budget Report.
GAD issued a note in January 2007 on the methodology, assumptions and data underlying the projections.
Further information
Published reports by GAD in respect of public sector pension schemes, including actuarial valuation reports for the NHS Pension Scheme and the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, are available from The Stationery Office.
Staff transfers
We advise public and private sector organisations on the pensions implications of staff transfers from and to the public sector. Further information is available in the staff transfers section of our website.
