NHS Pension Query

Mr_Why · 2020-03-16 17:17:47

I have around 28 years in the nhs 1995 scheme. However in 2018 I moved over to the 2015 scheme, and that is what I am paying into now. I was now to opt out would my 1995 pension be frozen? I only want to opt out for a couple if years to clear some debt. Any advice is most welcome.

The death in service benefit is still payable (at least in part) for five years after retirement.
