The TUC scheme offers value for money with a sliding scale charging structure. Charges start from as little 0.5% per annum depending on the size of your fund.
You can keep track of your pension and make changes to it at any time via a dedicated website, phone or post.
The plan is very flexible so you can start, stop or change the amount of your payments within certain payment levels and timeframes.
Your plan is portable. So, if you leave the Civil Service, you can still make contributions offering the potential for future fund growth.

The Civil Service partnership pension account provides options for all employees to plan for their retirement. One of the options available is the Stakeholder Pension, offered by the TUC and administered by Prudential.

Prudential's knowledge, together with the unions' record of looking after their members, means that the scheme offers the potential for good benefits and value for money.

Remember, you do not have to contribute to the scheme in order to attract the employer contribution. However, if you decide to make additional payments, the Civil Service will match those contributions up to a maximum of 3%.

If you wish to apply for the scheme, contact our service centre for an application pack. The application form should be completed and returned to your employer.
