When the government made changes to public service pension schemes in 2015, scheme protection allowed some members who were closer to retirement to stay in the section of the Scheme they were in on 31 March 2015.

The Court of Appeal later found this discriminated against younger members.

The government is removing this age discrimination from public service pension schemes.

The 1995/2008 Scheme closed on 31 March 2022 and the remaining active members transferred to the 2015 Scheme so all members were treated equally.

From 1 April 2022, all active members regardless of age became members of the 2015 NHS Pension Scheme.

All legacy pension schemes were closed including the 1995/2008 NHS Pension Scheme. 

If you're affected by the Public Service Pension Remedy, the first stage of the remedy is rollback.
