As of July 2024, Member Self Service has received an update to be more user friendly, following a scheme member engagement study by our database providers.
The new design helps all scheme members to understand their pension helping them to plan for their retirement. The new home page is now more intuitive and provides easy secure access to your pension entitlement. There you will find information about the new Member Service, including how to register and sign in, the new Annual Benefits Statement page, and a new financial planner to help you plan for retirement.
Please note that Internet Explorer will not work with the New Member Self Service. Opt for browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox

Planning your retirement
There is a new planning your retirement page found on Member Self Service.
You will be taken to a page where you can choose between three different types of retirement, being:
- Essentials Covered – This target ensures all your basic needs are covered, with some left over for fun and social occasions.
- Living Comfortably – This gives you more flexibility in retirement and gives you more to spend on leisure activities.
- Luxurious Retirement – This target lifestyle that allows you to be more spontaneous with your money and go on more holidays.
You will be directed to choose which one of these sounds like your dream retirement. Following this, you will be taken to a page where you can amend your budget for your projected retirement, which you can amend for yourself. Finally, a page will appear which will compare your target and projected income, as well as a lump sum calculator you can take and any other income you may have!
