Missing years

Can I submit an end of year form if I am still waiting for retrospective years to be reconciled?

You can submit your end of year form, and it will be processed. However, pension records can only be updated sequentially.

This means that, if any certificates from previous years are missing, contributions for the most recent years will not show on the NHS Pensions system.

For instance, if a certificate is missing for the year 2015/16 then the Annual Benefit Statement will only reflect the pension figures up until 2015, even if the certificates for more recent years have been submitted.

 

If you haven’t completed these forms in previous years, what should you do?

There is a Type 2 amnesty form on the NHS Pensions website for historic years. It is important to complete and submit forms annually to ensure your pension record is accurate.
