Video presentations 

Welcome to USS Pensions TV

Here you will find a range of video presentations covering: joining the scheme, transfers-in, leaving the scheme, overseas issues, absences and AVCs. None of the programmes are very long and they have been produced to help you learn about the scheme in a more personal way.

Recently we’ve added a new programme on Tax Free Cash.

Just click on a presentation, you will also find links to other related resources listed within each programme. Once you've watched a programme we'd really like to know what you thought. Please leave us some feedback.

Please note:

A broadband connection of at least 512 Kbit/sec is recommended to watch Pensions TV.
