IWDC member forms

If you're a member of the IWDC Section, you can use the forms available on this page to help you manage your pension.

Contents

You’ll find a variety of forms relating to your IWDC pension pot below. Simply select the specific topics from the list to find the form you need.

In most cases you’ll be asked to fill in these forms as part of a broader process and we’ll let you know when it’s required.

You might find it quicker and easier to make some changes online instead. You can do this by logging in to your myRPS account, or registering for a myRPS account if you don't already have one.
