This pensions briefing explains the key differences between the Scottish Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and the Social Housing Pension Scheme (SHPS) and provides key information on the workings of the SHPS.
It will be of use to branches who have members working in housing associations – which are increasingly looking to exit the LGPS and offer the SHPS instead.
This paper explains the main differences between the schemes. If you have further questions please: contact your branch
