<p> </p><p>Under the terms of the Proposed Final Agreement for the firefighters’ pension
scheme 2015 in England the actuarial reduction for a firefighter who retired earlier
than the scheme’s Normal Pension Age but at the age of 57 or above would have been
calculated from the Normal Pension Age. The actuarial reduction for a firefighter
who retired between the ages of 55 and 57 would have been calculated from their state
pension age. However, in the light of responses received to the second consultation
on the firefighters’ pension scheme 2015, the Government decided to reinstate its
offer, first made in June 2013, under which all actuarial reductions in the case of
early retirement are calculated from the Normal Pension Age. This decision was communicated
in a letter to Chief Fire Officers and Chairs of fire authorities on 9 July 2014.
