The Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) welcomes the Government’s response to the consultation on the Superannuation Contributions Adjusted for Past Experience (SCAPE) discount rate, which has resulted in an update to the Police Pension Scheme 1987 commutation factors.
This will directly and positively affect the pension benefits of police officers at the time of retirement by increasing the rate at which pension is converted into a commutation lump sum at retirement. The new factors are effective from 31 March 2023, and PFEW acknowledges that the revised SCAPE discount rate and subsequently updated factors have come into immediate effect, without providing stakeholders with advance notice so that they could make members aware.
