Ministerial – Pre 2015

Any Ministers and Office Holders appointed prior to 8 May 2015 will have deferred benefits built up in the pre 2015 Section of the Ministerial Pension Scheme. You can refer to the information below for details of how the scheme worked in relation to deferred benefits that you may have built up there.

In addition MPs who remain in the Final Salary Section of the MPs’ Pension Scheme, and who serve as a paid Committee Chairman or the Chairman/Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means will remain in the pre 2015 Section of the Ministerial Scheme in relation to their Office Holder salaries.

From 8 May 2015, most holders of qualifying office moved into the post 2015 Section of the Ministerial Pension Scheme for all future service. Although, MPs who serve as a paid Committee Chairman or the Chairman/Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means and are in the CARE Section of the MPs Pension Scheme will build up additional benefits in this section in respect of their Office Holder salary.
