looking after your pension
Welcome to the Royal Mail Pension Plan internet site, which we have designed to help you understand your benefits and the options you have as a member, and to find out more about the important subject of planning your financial future...
Who is this site for?
This site is for all members of the Royal Mail Pension Plan or RMPP, whether you are an active (employee) member, a retired (pensioner) member, a deferred member (i.e. someone who has ceased contributing to the Plan but has not yet taken their benefits) or other beneficiary of the Plan (i.e. someone receiving benefits because a former member has died).
The RMPP closed to new entrants with effect from 1 April 2008 (except for certain employees who worked for the company and were under age 18 on 31 March 2008). Royal Mail Group has introduced a new defined contribution pension plan with effect from 1 April 2008 which you can find out more about by going to www.zurich.co.uk/corporatepensions/royalmaildcplan.
Who manages this site?
This site is owned by and operated by Royal Mail Pensions Trustees Limited (RMPTL), the company whose directors are trustees of the Plan. It is not the responsibility of Royal Mail Group and all content and information contained in this site is provided by RMPTL and its professional advisers.
Which section applies to me?
The Plan has two sections - Section A/B and Section C. You may already be familiar with which section you are in, but if not, you should be able to identify your section by the date you joined:
- If you joined before 1 April 1987, you will be in Section A/B
- If you joined on or after 1 April 1987, you will be in Section C
If you have any questions, then please contact the Pensions Service Centre.
