Superannuation Act 1949

The Superannuation Act 1949 was an Act of Parliament passed in the United Kingdom by the Labour government of Clement Attlee. Amongst other changes, it ensured that pensions on a contributory basis were provided for the widow and dependants of an established civil servant. It also ensure that a civil servant retiring after his 50th birthday could retain accrued pension rights, which would become payable on his sixtieth birthday (although the Treasury could, on compassionate grounds, grant such a pension immediately).[1]
