Listing Screen (T2)
Has my form been received by PCSE?
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
- Resubmitted – you have made corrections to your rejected form and submitted your form again for checking/processing by the PCSE Pensions team
How far back can you go on PCSE online to view previous year forms on the Listings screen?
You can view submissions back to the 2015/16 financial year.

For GPs who submitted their end of year form via the Contact Us form, you will need to update and resubmit via the same method.
The relevant financial year is not selectable and none of that is relevant to me, it says already initiated/completed
The listings screen on PCSE Online allows members to see previously submitted Type 1 and Type 2 certificates and also any draft forms.

You do not need to print out the forms if you need to contact us with any queries.

I can't see a form I've completed, the last one is 2021/22. Some previous years say initiated, but I know they are not completed, how can I redo those years?
If any years are showing as already initiated in the Type 1 or Type 2 screen, you need to go the Listing Screen button to see forms that are in draft status or have already been completed or processed.
If this doesn't resolve the issue then please 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
Do we get confirmation the form has been successfully submitted?
Once you have submitted your form for processing on PCSE Online, its status will show as 'declarated' on the Type 2 Listings screen.
I have been a GP since 2007 but there are only forms showing since 2015/16. Why would that be? I am sure I submitted them every year.
Only forms from 2015/16 onwards are visible on PCSE Online, as only these years were migrated from the legacy NHAIS system.
You will be able to see contributions for your historic years in the NHS Pensions system.
Does it matter if as a locum I have not been consistent in which tier rate I have selected on my form a/b?
PCSE will calculate whether you have paid the correct level of contributions for your locum work for the year when they process your Type 2 form and will let you know whether there is any shortfall or overpayment to be corrected.
Is there an audit trail of all the previous forms we have submitted?
Yes. You can view all previously submitted end of year forms on the Listings screen.
