Firefighters' pension schemes: amendments

This is a statutory consultation on firefighters’ pension scheme regulations. We are seeking views on:

• ensuring that survivors of firefighters who die in the line of duty do not lose their survivor benefits on re-marriage
• minor technical amendments associated with the career-average 2015 scheme launched last year

This is to ensure that the firefighters’ pension scheme complies with the Chancellor’s Budget statement last year.

This consultation is primarily aimed at:

• fire and rescue authorities
• members of the firefighters’ pension schemes
• relevant employer and employee representative bodies
