New ill-health certificates
The LGA have recently released updated ill-health certificates for all ill-health retirements, Tier 3 reviews and deferred pensions into payment. These can be found on our ill-health pages in the employers guide area of our website and linked below.
The certificates have been amended to include the updates made by the LGPS (Amendment) Regulations 2018 [SI 2018/493], changes to SPA in November 2018 and a number of other minor corrections.
Please ensure, when processing ill-health retirements, you use the June 2019 versions of the certificates.
