If you’ve previously worked for the NHS in England or Wales and are not sure if you paid into a pension, read the ‘Membership record’ factsheet on our website.
To check if you have pension membership, contact our helpdesk. You must have your National Insurance (NI) number to assist us in locating any membership.
Membership enquiry form
We may request that you complete a membership enquiry form. The form to complete depends on when you think you contributed to the Scheme.
If this was during a period of employment within the last 7 years, you must complete form SM27B. This must be sent to the NHS employer(s) you were working for.
If it was during a period of employment over 7 years ago, complete form SM27C and send this to NHS Pensions directly.
