Full benefits membership

Full benefits members are members who have completed their CMAPS and have been assessed as being sufficiently healthy to carry out their duties without taking excessive sick leave in the first three years of joining the PSS.

In the event of permanent invalidity you will be paid an invalidity benefit that is based on the lump sum you would have received if you had worked to the age of 60. This can be taken as a pension or a combination of pension and lump sum.

In the event of your death, the benefit payable to your eligible spouse and/or dependants will be a percentage of the pension that would have been paid to you had you retired on invalidity grounds.
