How do I request to take my pension?

When you receive your retirement pack, it will include a number of forms to complete and return to Wiltshire Pension Fund.

Delays to your pension payments may occur if we do not receive the required information from you. Remember to read your retirement pack thoroughly and ensure that the forms have been completed and returned.

Pension payments may not occur on the same month that you submitted the forms due to the payroll cycle. We recommend that you leave plenty of notice in returning your forms to avoid delays to your pension payments.

What happens after you return your completed retirement forms?

• monthly pension payment will be made to your nominated bank account at the next payroll cycle
• if you have a lump sum, this will be paid within 15 working days in receipt of your retirement form
• your pay date is the 25th of each month (or the last working day beforehand, if it falls on a weekend or Bank Holiday)
