What if my circumstances change after retirement?
Please let Capita know immediately if you change address to avoid any problems with your pension payments.
If you change your bank account, please inform Capita and keep your old account open until you receive the first payment to your new account to avoid the possibility of delays to your payments.
The easiest way to update your address and contact details is by logging into your EAPF Online account.
Please let Capita know if you get married/divorced or enter/dissolve a civil partnership. You’ll need to provide the relevant certificates for registration and return.
You may also wish to review your ‘Death grant nomination’ to let us know who you’d like to receive any potential death grant lump sum that may become payable. See page 9 for more details about this.
You can continue to receive your pension if you move overseas, but you’ll need to contact the Pensions Payroll Section at Capita to arrange this. You may also need to complete an application for exemption from UK income tax.
If you need to contact Capita, see our Contact page.
For more details about tax and moving overseas contact your local tax office or go to www.gov.uk/personal-tax/income-tax
If, after taking your EAPF pension benefits, you get a job with an employer that doesn’t participate in the LGPS, there’ll be no change to your pension.
If you get a job with an employer or council that participates in the LGPS, you must inform Capita, even if you don’t join the LGPS in this job. We’ll check to see whether your pension is affected by your new employment.
