In my experience, I've never had an annual update from deferred scheme (ie where I left the company). When queried, they have always replied they don't do it and it's not a legal requirement. I've also found the GMP figures misleading and a waste of space. My experience again, on a failed scheme, had a GMP of about £13k, based on 'an estimated 7% inflation'. Actual pension value when assessed by PPF/FAS £7k |

I requested one a month or so back and got a reply in about ten days. I still don't trust the wretched thing to pay out mind.

Surprised at lack of info others have experienced. I received an update on my deferred DB scheme at least annually - both a personal update and a scheme update

I used to get an annual update, until the scheme was transferred to another provider. Now they provide very little information unless I ask. The information is also fairly inconsistent, even though it is their sole business. I think I'm getting closer to working out exactly what the right questions are to get exactly the information I need in a form I can use it.

I ran some DB quotes today. Looks like annual increase has been applied and the numbers look quite encouraging. I am surprised that the reduction at 55 compared to 60 is not all that big. The difference is for each year I can work the TFC gets bigger and obviously so does the remaining DC pot

Spoke to someone at the NHS pensions today about how much I lose this year if I retire at 59 instead of waiting till m 60 next year…bit of a difference on such a small pension so will have to have a meeting with my FA to see how much my other investments are making to see if I will use that money this year.

Assuming NHS works like LGPS - which would seem reasonable - there’s a calculator thingy. Hold on.

At the time when I took early retirement using the NHS Pension Scheme (1995 version), something similar to the LGPS was applied, called an actuarial reduction. nhsbsa.nhs.uk will give you further information. |
