Recent Development

LSE is changing the way in which it pays national insurance contributions on pensions with the introduction of a scheme called PensionPlus.

PensionPlus
This is a scheme that will allow National Insurance saving on pension contributions and is operating successfully in other major UK universities. 

We have produced a booklet for USS and SAUL members they explain how PensionPlus will benefit you, how it works and aims to answer any questions you may have.

Following the PensionPlus workshops held on 3 and 4 June, we have now made available the presentation slides (in MS Powerpoint format) and relevant information for USS and SAUL (PDF documents):

Further information is available on the following pages. You can also contact the Pensions Officer, Jenny Casey j.a.casey@lse.ac.uk, who can advise on eligibility to join the schemes.

However, please note that we are not registered to give financial advice of any kind. If you have any queries of a specific financial nature, please contact an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The Financial Services Authority (FSA) can also help. It is an independent watchdog set up by government to regulate financial services and protect your rights. By law, most financial services firms must be authorised by the FSA. They ensure that all authorised firms are run in a prudent and financially sound way and regulate the way many (but not all) of them do business with you.
