Did you join the NHS pension scheme on or before 31st March 2012 and were still a member of the scheme on or after 1st April 2015? If your answer is yes it’s likely that you'll be part of the McCloud judgement remedy which resulted from the breach of age discrimination rules. There are decisions for you to make but the good news is there is nothing immediate for you to do. Additionally from 1st April 2022 there are changes to your NHS pension scheme.

With this in mind financial wellbeing specialists 'Affinity Connect' would like to personally invite you to attend an interactive 90 minute online course. This has been developed to help you understand the changes, explore your options and help you to make the right decisions when the time comes.

The course will cover:

An overview of the McCloud judgement including:

  • The remedy and the options to consider
  • The final salary link 2015 – 2022
  • The changes to your pension from 1st April 2022
  • Flexible retirement and your options
  • Taxation and the impact of tax
  • Your next steps
