Hi, I was made redundant last year after 22 years of NHS pensionable service

Were you not entitled to early retirement?

Early retirement on grounds of redundancy for employees entitled to pension benefits

Qualification criteria

16.10 Members of the NHS Pension Scheme who are made redundant and meet the conditions set out below may choose to retire early and use the redundancy payment, set out in paragraphs 16.12 to 16.15 to buy out all or part of the pension benefits reduction. To qualify for early retirement the member of staff must:

• be an active member of the NHS Pension Scheme in respect of the employment that is being terminated;
• have at least two years’ continuous service and two years’ qualifying membership of the NHS Pension Scheme;
• have reached the minimum pension age. The Finance Act 2004 allows for protection of a minimum pension age of 50, for members who had the right to take reduced benefits at that age on 5 April 2006. This protection may continue as long as members retiring early after 6 April 2010 take all their benefits payable under scheme rules. In the NHS Pension Scheme, for those without this protection, members who first joined and some who returned to the scheme after 6 April 2006, minimum pension age is 55.

The OP might only be 40 or so?

Just to let you know, they told me the 16/17 year info is expected to go live on the TRS site in October

Hoping that they get the info right this time - lots of errors last year when it was done in August. So many requests for checks that they did another run in October.
