Skink Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 a friend of mine works as a secretary for the NHS and has been told the if they are in the current NHS pension you aren't building up rights to the state pension Haven't been able to confirm that - but one option I suggested was doing some self employed work. I have been for years and my pension show full service every year, despite working at places with "contracted out" pensions thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnailyBoy Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 State pension entitlement is based on NI contributions. It shouldn't make any different that they're paying in to an occupational pension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calahonda Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 A little knowledge is dangerous, no knowledge is disastrous, I think that the NHS scheme is contracted our of the ‘Second State Pension’, or whatever it’s currently called, the State Pension is payable to all who have made the required NI contributions.

The OP was a little vague on the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a NHS pension and will get a state one when I'm old enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you won’t qualify for the Second State Pension, as what would have been used to provide it has been diverted into your NHS pension during your NHS service.

truman Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Totally agree with SnailBoy that state pension entitlement is based on NI contributions, end of! End of what? The NHS scheme used to be a "contracted out" one which meant that you paid less NI but wouldn't get the additional state pension....don't know if this is still the case...

max Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Either ask the question of their union rep or pension administrator. I would hate to think that your friend took the advice of some strangers on the internet then, when they retired, found out it was all wrong.
