Leaving the Plan

If you opt out of the RMPP or leave your employer, you can choose to keep your benefits in the RMPP or you can transfer your benefits to another pension arrangement.

The guide, ‘Your options as an Employee Member’ gives you an overview of your choices if you leave the RMPP, or you can read more about these options below.

If you leave the RMPP, the Pensions Service Centre will write to you to confirm the value of your pension benefits. The information in that letter will include a summary of the information in the guide. So please get in touch with them if you change your address. Capita look after the benefits you have in the Royal Mail Statutory Pension Scheme, so you’ll get a letter from them with details of those benefits.

You can read more about your options by clicking the links below.
