Hi all,i worked for the council untill i was retired due to ill health at 35yrs of age.
Since then i have received a monthly pension through lgps.
I retire in October this year and was wondering if i will still get my pension with them when i do retire,and if i will keep getting it,will it be increased or reduced?
Also,my wife who is a few years from retirement receives ESA.
Will my pension affect her benefit,i know her esa is reduced due to my pension.
I have my State Pension Forecast+a COPE figure of £20 each week,will this amount be paid by my lgps?
I havnt a clue how things unfold as i reach the big day and i would be very gratefull indeed for any advice.
Thank You.

Pretty sure it stays as it is till you die. They basically brought your retirement date forward by 25 years.

Ignore the COPE amount. That's not something you get as an extra. It's an illustrative figure for people who contracted out to a private pension. Public sector pensions work differently.

Thank you all for your advice/comments,after being on phone to dwp they informed the increase in my wifes esa is a premium increase due to me reaching pension age!
