The BAE Systems Pension Scheme, Royal Ordnance Pension Scheme and the BAE Systems Executive Pension Scheme all offer medical retirement provision within their benefit structure. If members can no longer work, they are able to apply to the Trustees for payment of an enhanced medical retirement benefit.

Although it is a Trustee decision as to whether a medical retirement pension is to be granted, the Trustees of these schemes employ a Trustee Medical Adviser to assess whether individuals satisfy the relevant medical retirement criteria.  The provider of this service has recently changed, with Medigold being replaced by Health Partners.  All new cases will therefore be assessed by Health Partners.  From an application point of view there will be no change to the process. All members who are currently going through the process will be written to separately.
