2015/16 - 2020/21 Type 2

If you have previously submitted your 2015/16 certificate (or any other year that is showing as missing) and have and active case reference, please contact us to ask for an update. 

If you need to contact PCSE please visit the link below, this page shows all ways you can contact us. https://pcse.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/gp-pensions-enquiries

If you are aware of any previous years that are missing certificates, please submit the appropriate form for the missing year via PCSE Online. If you have downloaded an Excel form from the NHS Pensions website, you can submit  via the GP Pensions contact us form. 

Where a GP is a Provider and a Salaried GP in the same year, they must complete both the Type 1 Annual Certificate and Type 2 Self Assessment form. 

If the GP is Salaried only, they must complete a Type 2 Self Assessment form. 2023/24 Type 2 Self Assessment forms can be completed on PCSE Online.

This sounds like a technical issue with your PCSE Online account. Please contact our Customer Service Centre for help.

If the Submit button is greyed out, this means there is some missing or incorrect information or this has already been submitted. Please check the status of your form in the Listings screen.

You can check the status of the form on the NHS Pension Scheme Annual Income listing screen on PCSE Online.

Log into PCSE Online, and click GP Pensions and Payments, then Pensions and then Annual Certificate – Type 1. 

You can then click on ‘NHS Pension Scheme Annual Income listing’, and this is where you’ll see all current and previous forms. 

These are normally listed in date order, so you can sort on the ‘Financial Year’ column so the most recent is at the top of the list. 

There are a range of statuses in the ‘Declaration Status’ column:

• Draft – you have started your form and saved it for later
• Pending – your accountant or advisor has completed your form on your behalf, and it is waiting for you to submit it
• Declarated – you have declared that your form is completed with the correct information and submitted it to PCSE for processing
• Approved – your form has been approved by PCSE. Your contributions data will be updated on your NHS Pensions record as long as you don't have any missing years
• Rejected – your form has been rejected by PCSE and needs to be corrected and resubmitted
