A discussion forum has also been set up by DCLG where you can ask questions, put your point forward and discuss the issues raised by the new scheme regulations. DCLG officers monitor the forum so this is a chance for you to ask them directly about the LGPS.
DCLG are unable to answer questions regarding members' individual cases on the forum. Such queries should be directed to Lancashire Pensions Services.
The forum can be accessed via the link: http://forum.communities.gov.uk/lgps2
