Prison Pension
Hello again,
We have been monitoring the PPS threads and have decided that we are definately thinking of accepting the offer of employment in Invercargill and are at the invitation to apply for residency stage with our visas. 2 x officers , no kids , none if small mortgage, one dependant dog !!!
The question we ask is what information has anyone recieved about our prison pension here ie.transfer, freezing???
We have contacted Bootle on numerous occasions and we are recieving conflicting information.
Also do the NZPPS have a pension scheme ( non contributary or not ) as I cannot get a definite answer from anyone ? If not , does anyone know if we can transfer our prison pension to a private pension in NZ?
Cheers

You can't transfer your UK state pension. Your entitlement will be worked out according to how many years' NI contributions you have made - you can elect to continue contributing from NZ to get a bigger UK state pension which can be paid in NZ.
In any case, anybody transferring a UK pension to NZ would be extremely foolish until they were - say - 5 years in NZ and absolutely knew that NZ was for them, IMHO, unless we're talking a small amount.
