News and Updates...

Whilst we have produced over 20,000 Remediable Service Statements for serving; retired and former officers or those receiving a Met Police Pension we are sorry that unfortunately there are a number of statements outstanding. These fall into two categories: .

The first is ‘exceptions’ – the law, the Public Sector Pension Judicial Offices Act 2022, sets out a framework for scheme managers to change the delivery date for your RSS. Within policing a series of ‘exceptions’, reasons why the delivery date can be moved, have been set out by the National Police Chief’s Council. They cover circumstances where forces are awaiting data from third parties or essential policy and guidance from government. We have now written to everyone in this category to explain more about why your RSS is delayed; what is being done to produce it and to provide a new timeline. The last of these letters was posted on Thursday 10 April.

One of these exceptions is where we have been unable to trace current contact details and we do not want to risk sending such personal and police related information to the wrong address. If you have not heard from us by Monday 28th April , it is likely we do not hold current contact details for you. In this case please contact the McCloud Helpdesk (see the “Further Help” section) so we can update your contact details.

The second is those we did not produce in time. These are referred to as breaches. We have now written to everyone in this group to explain what is being done to produce your statement and to provide a new timeline. Most of these letters were posted by Thursday, 10 April, however some letters were delayed in production and are being posted by 30 April so please allow time for delivery.

The Met is updating serving officers via internal email. Where SSCL hold an email address, updates and statements will be sent electronically. All other statements will be sent by post.

The Met has reported both exceptions and breaches to The Pension Regulator. Progress on the delivery of outstanding statements is being reported to the Met’s senior leadership team.

If you have any questions please use the “Further Help” Section where you will find our Help Desk contact details.
