Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It's so confirmed that the pension forms were issued last year with a view to me taking it in March 2022, Pix :-O And I tried to take it in March 2021 but failed because I sent the wrong form and Crapita was beyond unhelpful, so I just said "fuck it" since I still had an income.

(eL Bee! asked me yesterday if I'd been looking for other jobs :-O )

I'm not sure if online is an option for me. The accountant says it's not because I'm not in the NHS pension scheme now, but when I 'phoned the NHS pension scheme (not the Crapita bit) they said, "You ARE still in the NHS pension scheme even though you're not currently contributing, therefore you've sent the wrong form." So I shall DMOR before asking anyone to witness anything for me this time.

I was a full time athlete anyway, I just had to fulfil 30 hours of sponsorship obligations each week. I felt highly privileged every time I saw Charlotte Purdue on Facebook advertising sodding Revvies.

A pleasant gentleman called Mustafa just 'phoned me to check I'm still going to give blood next week. I should probably get out and run.

That is confusing, Vrap. TPS is also run by that company! I was paying into it until December 2020! I had a break from permanent contract work in 2017 and 2018 doing supply teaching for a while but it was short enough that my pension record counted my service as continuous. 27 years or so. I applied in December last year for the pension to be taken from the day of my 55th birthday. It’s all been very smooth. Hope your research finds some answers.

I like this way of thinking!

I've not given blood since I hit my 50 just before covid
