Consultation documents

From time to time we consult on possible changes to our actuarial assumptions. On this page, you'll find details of those consultations and their findings. 

Consultation on s143 and s179 assumptions

We've launched a consultation on proposed updates to the assumptions used for section 143 and section 179 valuations. 

The review proposes changes to discount rate and longevity assumptions to keep the valuation basis aligned with current bulk annuity market pricing. 

We encourage trustees, actuaries, advisers, insurers and other stakeholders to review the proposals and share their views. To submit a response, email [email protected] before 5pm on 16 September 2026.
