Can I transfer previous pension rights into the LGPS?

You cannot transfer previous pension rights into the LGPS from another pension scheme, personal pension plan, another LGPS fund or from LGPS membership as an employee. If you have LGPS pension rights from a previous period of councillor membership in the same LGPS Fund you can join them to your current councillor membership but only within 12 months of rejoining the scheme, or longer if your council allows.
