Civil service alpha transfer

Nellyshortie

I was wondering if anyone has any experience or advice regarding the Alpha higher tier ill health reassessment. I was medically retired in 2018 under the Classic scheme. My pension has been subject to the Remedy ( mccloud) and as a result I have been given the option to transfer to the Alpha scheme. I am still three years off of state pension age. Information states that reviews are carried out as a minimum every five years, to see if I would still qualify for the higher tier enhancement. A letter I have received states that the senior medical advisors have decided that “ at the time of application for ill health retirement” I would have met the criteria for the higher tier enhancement. My question is …as I have been receiving my pension for over 5 years, would I be subject to a review immediately. Does anyone have any experience of these reviews in the alpha scheme. Thank you
