Guidance for GPs in England on getting your pension record up to date
“One of the biggest challenges that GPs in England face is out of date and inaccurate pension records, with “missing years” of pensions data due to PCSE’s mismanagement of pension records. A missing year(s) is where the record of your pensionable pay may be incomplete for a specific year(s) and therefore your NHS pension record will not be up to date. The scale of the problem is likely to mean that a significant proportion, running into the many thousands, are affected.”
