The person concerned is a member of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme, a public sector pension scheme which was introduced in 2013.

The provisions providing for membership of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme are set out in primary legislation namely at Section 10 of thePublic Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012.

Our records show the person concerned was first employed in the public sector on 18 January 2013. The person concerned has completed a declaration form stating she had no previous public sector employment prior to 01 January 2013 and is therefore correctly a member of the single pension scheme.
