We have uncovered cases of incapacitated pensioners, where they have been subject to financial abuse by family members and friends. We have discovered cases where pensions should have been reduced/stopped but the recipients of the pension did not tell us about a change in their circumstances.</p> <p><strong>Why do I need a witness?</strong><br />Part of the process of completing the Life Certificate is that we need an independent witness, who does not live with you and is not related to you. Most people have a friend, neighbour or an ex-work colleague who knows them.</p> <p>We require an independent witness as our past experiences show us that the majority of fraud cases we have had, have been committed by a family member.</p> <p>Explanation on what the life certificate is (for witnesses) in</p> <ul> <li><a href="/media/mcklqads/lifecertificate-french.pdf" title="Lifecertificate French">French (pdf)</a></li> <li><a href="/media/domhoyrl/lifecertificate-spanish.pdf" title="Lifecertificate Spanish">Spanish (pdf)</a></li> <li><a href="/media/bb5pmmc2/lifecertificate-polish.pdf" title="Lifecertificate Polish">Polish (pdf)</a></li> </ul> <p>If you can't find a suitable witness you can call in at our Bradford or Lincoln offices with photo identification.(e.g. passport, driving licence etc). If you live overseas we can arrange alternatives.</p> <p><strong>Do I have to fill this in?</strong><br />Yes. The decision to issue life certificates is a WYPF policy. We do not think it is unreasonable to ask someone to complete a life certificate. The majority of our pensioners have to complete one once every 7 years. But some pensioners received one on a more frequent basis. A number of other pension funds issue life certificates and it is seen as best practice by our auditors. Even the DWP issue life certificates to certain pensioners receiving state pension.</p> <p><strong>If I don’t complete this what will happen?</strong><br />You will get a reminder life certificate, and if this is still not returned it will be followed by a letter stating that your pension has been suspended from a certain date. Please note that it is around six months from the issue of the first life certificate before your pension would be suspended. And this is only as a last resort.</p> <p><strong>Why have I received multiple Life Certificate forms?</strong><br />You will receive a life certificate for each pension record you have with us (even if you receive one payment covering all of your pension records) . You will need to return any with a <strong>yellow</strong> note on the front. If none of them have a <strong>yellow</strong> note on, you only need to get one of these fully completed, but <strong>please send all the life certificates back</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Why is my member number different?</strong><br />You may notice that the reference number on the life certificate is different to the number on your payslip or P60. This is nothing to worry about - it’s just that we hold two different reference numbers for you, one for administration and one for payroll.</p> <p><strong>Is the return address correct? It doesn’t look real.</strong><br />Yes, the address of Freepost WYPF is correct. We arranged this short, unique address with Royal Mail, just for the return of life certificates. You do not need a stamp, town or postcode on your envelope, just <strong>Freepost WYPF</strong>.</p> <p><strong>What if I become physically or mentally incapable of looking after my own affairs, or if a relative who’s getting a WYPF pension becomes incapable of looking after their own affairs?</strong><br />If you’re concerned about this you can contact us and we’ll help you decide what to do next.</p></div> </div> <p class="tab " > <a class="nav-link nav-button-link collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse_fdd4b282-c8bd-4bcc-81dd-9484c569c6ab_3" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse_fdd4b282-c8bd-4bcc-81dd-9484c569c6ab_3" role="button"> Overseas life certificate - eligible witnesses </a> </p> <div id="collapse_fdd4b282-c8bd-4bcc-81dd-9484c569c6ab_3" class="info repeatable-content collapse "> <div class="text"><ul> <li>accountant</li> <li>assurance agent of recognised company</li> <li>bank/building society official</li> <li>barrister</li> <li>chairman/director of limited company</li> <li>chiropodist</li> <li>commissioner for oaths</li> <li>councillor, e.g. local or county</li> <li>dentist</li> <li>doctor</li> <li>engineer - with professional qualifications</li> <li>financial services intermediary, e.g. a stockbroker or insurance broker</li> <li>fire service official</li> <li>Justice of the Peace</li> <li>legal secretary - fellow or associate member of the Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs</li> <li>local government officer</li> <li>member, associate or fellow of a professional body</li> <li>Member of Parliament</li> <li>minister of a recognised religion</li> <li>nurse - RGN or RMN</li> <li>optician</li> <li>pharmacist</li> <li>police officer</li> <li>Post Office official</li> <li>president/secretary of a recognised organisation</li> <li>social worker</li> <li>solicitor</li> <li>teacher, lecturer</li> <li>trade union officer</li> <li>fellow WYPF pensioner (but not a relative)</li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="content component usn_cmp_accordiontab base-bg base-bg-solid " id="LG_pentax"> <div class="component-inner">  <div class="component-introduction row justify-content-start text-left " data-os-animation="slideInUp" data-os-animation-delay="0s" data-os-animation-duration="1.2s"> <div class="info col"> <h2 class="heading base-heading " >State pension and other benefits</h2> <div class="text base-text"> <p>Information about the state pension, GMP, COPE and other benefits. </p> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="repeatable accordion tab-basic " data-os-animation="slideInUp" data-os-animation-delay="0s" data-os-animation-duration="1.2s"> <p class="tab " > <a class="nav-link nav-button-link collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse_a3774854-fb1c-4bc8-8dae-5ec167f0a03a_1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse_a3774854-fb1c-4bc8-8dae-5ec167f0a03a_1" role="button"> Claiming other benefits </a> </p> <div id="collapse_a3774854-fb1c-4bc8-8dae-5ec167f0a03a_1" class="info repeatable-content collapse "> <div class="text"><p>Once you start getting an LGPS pension, there might also be state benefits you can claim.

It’s also known as a COD, a contracted-out deduction.</p> <p>It only affects the way we calculate increases to your pension, and only from the time you reach state pension age.</p> <p><strong>How does it affect me if I have a GMP?</strong></p> <p>From state pension age the government starts paying the increase on your GMP (it’s paid along with your state pension).</p> <p>So when we pay the increase on your pension we pay it <em>less</em> the increase on your GMP. (Remember, the government pays this.)</p> <p><strong>What if I have membership after 6 April 1988?</strong></p> <p>It’s a bit more complicated if you have membership after 6 April 1988. If you do, we pay the increase on the part of your GMP that’s for your membership after this date. Except that if the increase is more than 3%, we only pay the increase on 3% and the government pays it on the rest.</p> <p><strong>I paid married woman’s reduced rate contributions – do I have a GMP?</strong></p> <p>There is no GMP for the time you paid the reduced rate.</p> <p><strong>Living abroad</strong></p> <p>If you live in a country that has a social security agreement with the United Kingdom, we work out your increase in the same way as in the example.</p> <p>Otherwise we pay the increase on all of your pension, including your GMP.</p> <p><strong>How does GMP affect how pensions increase is paid and calculated?</strong></p> <p><strong>Membership before 5 April 1988</strong></p> <p>Mr Jones retired in April 1987 with a pension of £150.00 per month. By the time he reached state pension age his pension was being paid at £205.82 per month made up as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Original pension £150.00</li> <li>Pensions increase £55.82</li> <li>Total £205.82</li> </ul> <p>At state pension age Mr Jones’ GMP was £50.00 per month, so the increase due in April 2001 of 3.3% was calculated as:</p> <ul> <li>Total pension £205.82</li> <li>Less GMP £ 50.00</li> <li>Pension to be increased £155.82</li> </ul> <p>£155.82 x 3.3% = £5.14, so his pension was increased by £5.14 to £210.96 per month made up as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Original pension £150.00</li> <li>Pensions Increase £60.96 (£55.82 + £5.14)</li> <li>Total £210.96</li> </ul> <p>HMRC started to pay PI of £1.65, i.e. £50.00 x 3.3%, on Mr Jones’ GMP from April 2001 so that his total pension for his service was increased by 3.3%. This can be checked as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Total increase due: £205.82 x 3.3% = £6.79</li> <li>Increase paid by us: £5.14</li> <li>Increase paid by the DWP: £1.65 (£50.00 x 3.3%)</li> <li>Total increase paid: £6.79</li> </ul> <p><strong>Membership after 5 April 1988</strong></p> <p>Mr Smith retired in 2000 at the age of 65. His pension was £200.00 per month. This included a GMP of £90.00 per month, of which £25.00 was earned after 5 April 1988.</p> <p>The increase due in April 2001 was calculated as:</p> <ul> <li>Original pension: £200.00</li> <li>Less GMP earned after 5 April 1988: £ 25.00</li> <li>Less GMP earned before 6 April 1988: £ 65.00</li> <li>Pension to be increased: £110.00 (£110.00 x 3.3%) + (£25.00 post-88 GMP x 3%) £3.63 + £0.75 = £4.38</li> </ul> <p>Therefore Mr Smith’s pension went up by £4.38 to £204.38 per month made up as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Original pension: £200.00</li> <li>Pensions Increase: £4.38</li> <li>Total: £204.38</li> </ul> <p>The balance of the 3.3% PI award on his GMP earned after 5 April 1988 was paid by the HMRC, along with the full PI award on his GMP earned before 6th April 1988. So Mr Smith’s total pension for his membership was increased by 3.3%. This can be checked as follows: </p> <ul> <li>Total increase due £200.00 x 3.3% = £6.60</li> <li>Increase paid by us £4.38</li> <li>Increase paid by the HMRC £2.22</li> </ul> <p>(£65 x 3.3%) + (25 x 0.3%, the extra amount over 3% on membership after 5 April 1988)</p> <ul> <li>Total increase paid: £6.60</li> </ul></div> </div> <p class="tab " > <a class="nav-link nav-button-link collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse_a3774854-fb1c-4bc8-8dae-5ec167f0a03a_4" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse_a3774854-fb1c-4bc8-8dae-5ec167f0a03a_4" role="button"> Contracted-Out Pension Equivalent (COPE) amount </a> </p> <div id="collapse_a3774854-fb1c-4bc8-8dae-5ec167f0a03a_4" class="info repeatable-content collapse "> <div class="text"><p>From November 2015, DWP included a Contracted-out Pension Equivalent (COPE) amount within state pension statements.</p> <p>This estimated amount is to help people who have been contracted-out see how the National Insurance contributions they paid before 6 April 2016 will contribute to their overall pension income.</p> <p>They might not be entitled to the full amount of new state pension, but they will instead receive some of their pension income through a different route. In most cases, their workplace or personal pension scheme(s) should include an amount that is at least equivalent to the additional state pension they would have got if they hadn’t been contracted-out. This is known as the COPE amount.</p> <p>Here are some key questions and answers that explain more about COPE and why it’s being included in state pension information.</p> <p><strong>What is the Contracted-out Pension Equivalent (COPE) amount?</strong></p> <p>Under the current state pension system people with enough National Insurance qualifying years can get the basic state pension and build up entitlement to the additional State Pension (called S2P/previously called SERPS). Many people have been contracted-out of the additional state pension. For those who reach their state pension age after 5 April 2016, the new state pension replaces both the basic and the additional state pension.</p> <p>People who were contracted-out of the additional state pension either paid lower NI contributions or some of their NI was instead paid into their workplace or personal pension. So to take into account that they have paid less into the NI system, the amount of state pension they’ll get directly from the government will be lower than that received by people with similar earnings who were not contracted-out.</p> <p>However, the pension they get from their workplace or personal pension(s) should include an amount that, in most cases, will be at least equivalent to the additional state pension they would have got if they hadn’t been contracted-out. This is known as the COPE amount. Their total private pension could even be higher.</p> <p>The COPE amount set out in the statements is based on all periods of contracting out. If someone has been a member of more than one scheme that was contracted out, the COPE amount represents the COPE in respect of all those schemes.</p> <p><strong>Why is DWP including this amount on state pension statements?</strong></p> <p>DWP introduced the estimated COPE amount to help people understand why they might not be entitled to the full amount of new state pension if they have been contracted-out. Instead they will receive some of their pension income through a different route.</p> <p><strong>How will this be paid?</strong></p> <p>The COPE amount will be paid as part of a person’s workplace or personal pension scheme(s). It will usually be part of their total pension benefits under the scheme, and not identified separately.</p> <p>The date when they receive their workplace or personal pension, and the full amount they receive, will depend on the rules of their scheme(s) and any investment choices made.</p> <p><strong>Will a person receive this exact COPE amount?</strong></p> <p>Not necessarily. A person’s workplace or personal pension scheme(s) should include an amount that is at least equal to the COPE amount shown in their state pension information.</p> <p>If they’ve been a member of a workplace or personal scheme where the amount of pension they get is based on their salary (e.g. defined benefit, final salary or average salary schemes), they may get less than the COPE amount if:</p> <ul> <li>their scheme had financial difficulties and is underfunded, or</li> <li>their rights were transferred to a scheme that wasn’t linked to salary and investments in that scheme didn’t perform well.</li> </ul> <p>If they are, or have been, a member of a workplace pension scheme where the amount of pension they get isn’t linked to their salary (e.g. defined contribution, money purchase scheme), or if they're a member of a personal pension or stakeholder scheme, the amount they get will depend on the performance of their investment and the choices they make.</p> <p><strong>What about people who have divorced or dissolved their civil partnership?</strong></p> <p>If someone has divorced or dissolved their civil partnership, and the courts have awarded a share of their workplace or personal pension to their former partner as a result, the actual amount they receive may be lower than the COPE amount shown in their state pension information.</p></div> </div>
