PensionChoices made simple
The Civil Service has two pension schemes for new entrants. These give you
more flexibility when arranging your pension, so you can select a scheme
that is right for your circumstances. PensionChoices helps you
make that selection. Use this section to work out where you are now, where
you want to be tomorrow, and which scheme is going to help you get there.
