Please supply us with a copy of your Birth Certificate with this application form so that we can verify your Date of Birth. We will be unable to process any applications until we receive this document.
Section 5 - Declaration
Agree
(Required)
To the best of my knowledge the information given in this form is true. I have no reason to believe that my health prevents me from continuing in pensionable employment until the payment period is completed.
Please note: The actuarial factors used to calculate additional pension are based on a normal retirement age which is linked to your State Pension Age, therefore if you take out an additional pension contract and then retire between the minimum retirement age and normal pension age for the scheme your additional pension will be reduced accordingly.
