Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can I get a refund on my NHS pension?

A refund can only be made if a member has opted out of or left all pensionable NHS employments. The exception to this is when a person has jobs that equate to more than whole time and in this case an employer locally returns the contributions taken on any hours in excess of whole time.

What happens if I stop paying into my NHS Pension?

If you leave the NHS scheme before completing two years of qualifying membership*, youre entitled to apply for a refund of the contributions youve made, rather than deferring or transferring your benefits. You can do this via the RF12 form, available from the NHS pensions hub.

Can I withdraw money from my NHS Pension?

In most cases you can take 25% of the money in cash, tax-free. Youll need to do this at the start and take the rest as income. You can get a guaranteed income for life either at the same time you draw your NHS pension scheme benefits, or at a later date.

Can I get my pension contributions back if I leave the UK?

Pension schemes often have a rule that you had to have paid in for at least 2 years to be entitled to benefits when you leave. So if you paid in for less than 2 years then yes, you might only have been entitled to a refund of your own contributions. Ask them to provide the evidence that they paid this to you.
