@goldstone_tony Surely they mean “all” not “any”

VERY IMPORTANT: If you havent received an RPSS & *any* of - paid AA (15-22) - not used scheme pays (remember the scheme dont know this) - not received an RPSS You need to SELF IDENTIFY so you can be prioritised Link: forms.office.com/pages/response… Pls RT/share incl. FB/Whatsap etc

@JulianElford @goldstone_tony @gdcuk @Jack__Needham Taken the leap and took flexi retirement option on May 1st. Too risky to wait. @nhs_pensions a bit overwhelmed I believe and not meeting the 30 day statutory payment for many who took various retirement options from April onwards

That’s me out I think….. Any view about when it might actually happen, if it needs a budget beforehand and whether Drs pensions will somehow be protected?? @goldstone_tony @gdcuk @Jack__Needham

Come and join us in Plymouth as an ICM Consultant in an MTC - General and Neuro ICM - no Cardiac jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

@JulianElford @TimDHWoo @_Kanishka_6582 Don’t forget @JulianElford that we got nothing financially from the 2003 contract when that was implemented

@TimDHWoo @_Kanishka_6582 Yes, although younger consultants will get up the ladder much faster than me

Let’s hope it’s acceptable

@gdcuk can you explain or point to article that explains how reg 9/41 is applied and would interact with salary linkage and best of last 3 for deferred ‘95 members looking to rejoin NHS scheme to flexibly retire from October? Happy to be DM and pay..

@Jack__Needham What about the ‘must be an active member as opposed to a deferred member with preserved salary linkage? Can you still draw down ‘95/2008 benefits if deferred less than 5 years without ‘retiring’?

@elfyn_thomas There are mixed messaged about reducing pay. We hope that it will be reduction of pensionable pay but take home pay can remain as is. This could vary between trusts

If you are looking at partial retirement, we have been modelling this for a few months. Now the guidance has been published - our assumptions were correct. Worth looking at this option, Please get in touch for any info, or planning opportunity.📢📢 forms.office.com/r/RbGL43ut41

@Jack__Needham Or does the ‘first’ rule apply to 2015 and ‘second’ rule to ‘95/2008?

@Jack__Needham Did your assumptions also include deferred members being ineligible?

@JulianElford @Tom_SkinnerBC Call me tomorrow sometime

@elfyn_thomas @Tom_SkinnerBC @elfyn_thomas we need to discuss!! When are you around over next few days??

Budget 2023 "I don't want any doctor to retire early because of taxes." - Annual Allowance to £60k - Lifetime Allowance... ABOLISHED

@JulianElford @Tom_SkinnerBC Although you may (now) want to consider a SIPP (IHT potential benefits too) rather than putting in the 2015 scheme - unless you plan to leave it until 65+ to crystallise. ‘95 section will get revalued with September CPI if deferred so need inflation busting pay rise to improve

@Tom_SkinnerBC Pretty good for most of us ‘more experienced’ doctors. Can go back into scheme and increase my pot.

Ah got £7 billion for this but not £2 billion for NHS Staff? Hmm ⁦@Jeremy_Hunt⁩& ⁦@SteveBarclay⁩ ? Silicon Valley Bank: Multi-billion pound bailout for UK tech planned thetimes.co.uk/article/2b8726…
