A guide to your pension online (ePA)
Member Handbook
- Member Handbook (ICI 1967 Section) – The handbook to the 1967 Section of the ICI Pension Fund has been updated to include changes to the benefits earned by active members and to reflect pension legislation. Inside you will find everything you need to know about being a member of the 1967 Section, including working out your benefits, the protection the Fund offers your dependants, what happens to your benefits if you leave and how to claim them when you retire.
Look out for these symbols to find the information relevant to you:
-
Active members – information in these sections will be important to you.
-
Deferred members – sets out how we will treat your benefits if you leave.
-
Pensioner members – explains what happens at, and during, retirement.
Like most other specialist areas, at times the world of pensions uses technical terminology that can sound like jargon and although we’ve tried to keep this to a minimum, sometimes it’s simply unavoidable. We’ve also produced a jargon buster which defines some of the industry specific terms you’ll find in some places of your handbook.
The handbook also describes the benefits payable to deferred and pensioner members of the 1949 section. There are some differences, the main one being that there are no supplementary pensions payable under the 1949 rules.
Please note that the handbook is a summary of the benefits provided under the Fund and does not detail every member’s individual benefits, which will depend on the member’s circumstances and may therefore differ from those set out in the handbook. The Trustee must pay member benefits in line with the Fund’s Trust Deed and Rules, which will prevail in the event of any difference between the handbook and the Trust Deed and Rules.
This handbook is available as a reference document. Please contact the Fund Administrator, Willis Towers Watson, if you have a specific question about Fund benefits. -
