National Pensions Awareness Week 2024

GP pension campaign in England

At the end of July, the BMA’s pensions committee launched a campaign to assist GPs in England to get their pension records up to date. There is a step-by-step guide for members to follow, with pre-populated email templates to assist. It is important to ensure that your record is as accurate as possible so you can make appropriate decisions about your pension and the McCloud remedy.

If you have received your 05 and AA statement from NHS Pensions, and your record is not updated to 2022-23, you can check what years are missing from your record by logging into your PCSE Pensions Online account. As the Pensions Online system is updated in sequential order, you will be able to see which type 1 or type 2 form is holding up your record from being up to date. You can then submit the required forms via your online account or through the online form.

If you have submitted all required forms and your record is still not up to date, you should raise a complaint with PCSE. If it not fully resolved within 40 days – follow the escalation process.
