Employers should consult with us before issuing any determination to a member to ensure that the proposed determination is in accordance with the regulations.
The LGPS regulations offer members access to a two stage appeals process known as the Internal Disputes Resolution Procedure (IDRP). Guidance on this procedure can be found here: IDRP employer guidance (PDF) [177KB]
Our preferred approach is for employers to draft their determination and to send it to the Appointed Person.
When drafting determinations, please refer to:
- The SPPA guidance for employers / appointed persons on making ill health decision
- The 2024-03 circular for ill health retirement (PDF) [109KB]
- Our ill health refused template letter (Word doc) [49KB]
- Our tier 2 challenged template letter (Word doc) [53KB]
