We are delighted to be hosting an online USS pensions session with Dooley Harte from UCU at 1.15 on Wednesday 4 December 2024.

The session will cover such topics as:

• Why join USS?
• Recent changes to your USS benefits including the one-off uplift
• Early and late retirement factors and retirement age
• Flexible retirement
• Ethical investment and divestment

You will be able to ask questions in the meeting or you can submit questions to Sarah Joss in advance by email. Note: If you are doing this please put “Pensions Questions” in the subject line.

There are some 15 minute individual pensions surgery appointments available with Dooley from 3.30 onwards but please be advised that Dooley won’t be able to give personalised financial advice. For personal advice you should contact your own Financial Adviser or use the UCU service offered by Quilter Financial Advisers. To arrange an appointment please contact Sarah Joss.

Branch members should have received the Zoom link by email. If you can’t find it, or if you are a non-member who wishes to attend or is considering joining please contact your local rep, a committee member, or Sarah Joss. There is a list on the branch committee web page.

BSL can be arranged if required. Please contact Marion Fletcher if this would be helpful.
