Written Question
Civil Servants: Workplace Pensions
Monday 23rd May 2022

Asked by: Clive Betts (Labour - Sheffield South East)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many retired civil servants are members of the civil service classic scheme.

Answered by Heather Wheeler

A total of 660,782 individuals are in receipt of a pension under classic terms.

Of those, 552,327 are retired classic members, the rest are those in receipt of a dependent’s pension.

This is split as follows:

Male/Female

Dependent/Pensioner

Number

Male

Dependent

15,905

Male

Pensioner

273,565

Female

Dependent

92,550

Female

Pensioner

278,762

MyCSP, the pension administrator, is unable to provide a split between active and deferred members due to how their data is held.

This is due to the fact that a large number of cases still in payment relate to members retiring or crystallising their benefits before the advent of bespoke administration and payroll systems that would hold this information. All historic, legacy cases were processed manually and unfortunately this level of detail is not available for this population.
