Transferring previous non-LGPS pension

You have only 12 months from joining the LGPS to opt to transfer your previous pension rights, unless your employer allows you longer.

Before we can look at transferring your previous benefits into Wiltshire Pension Fund we first need the transfer details from your previous pension provider.
