Legacy schemes

The first national pension scheme specially designed for firefighters was introduced in 1926. As you would expect, there have been many changes since then to reflect working practices and lifestyles.

The current scheme for active members is called FPS 2015. If you were a contributing member before 2015 you would have been in one or more of the following schemes.

FPS 1992
FPS 2006
Modified scheme (RDS)

Each of these has its own rules, retirement ages and benefits. You can find out more about these legacy schemes on the national member site fpsmember.org/ or by choosing a link below.
