Local Pension Commitees

Local Pension Committees (LPCs) are in place on all main sites and are established in accordance with the Scheme´s Trust Deed and Rules to carry out certain aspects of the Trustee´s duties in connection with death and medical early retirement benefits.

The membership of the LPCs is made up of equal numbers representing the employers and employees.

As SIPS is such a large arrangement, the Trustee recognises that it cannot take responsibility for all decisions and therefore delegates some of these to the LPCs. The primary responsibilities of the LPCs are to determine the distribution of death benefits and to assess the eligibility of members who have applied for early retirement on the basis of ill-health.

You can find contact details for the LPC on your site by clicking LPC Contact Details on the left-hand side.
