You may be aware that NIPSA had lodged tribunal cases for Injury to Feelings arising out of the McCloud decision on public sector pensions.
The cases have been lodged for all current NIPSA members, but the case will only apply to you if you were in a public sector pension on and before 1 April 2015.
The purpose of this bulletin is to advise members that individual correspondence on the cases will be issued to each member. The information will include the background to the case, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and details of how you can opt out of the case.
The individual mailshot will be issued to home addresses. We are aware that during the pandemic some written communication from NIPSA to work addresses was not received by members. As you continue to work from home it is very important that you receive the information we issue regarding this legal case.
If you have not received the individual mailshot by 7 September 2022, it is unlikely that we hold your current home address. If you are uncertain if we have your current home address or would like to update your address, please email membership@nipsa.org.uk or phone 028 90661831. You may also update your details by completing the form on our website at https://nipsa.org.uk/update-1.
As well at this important legal case, NIPSA will be contacting you in the coming months on the crucial matters of pay, consultations and ballots. Your home address will now become the default address for all correspondence from NIPSA.
In the unusual circumstance that you do not wish NIPSA to use your home address please let us know by contacting membership@nipsa.org.uk.
Yours sincerely
CARMEL GATES
General Secretary
