How do I apply for a transfer out of the NHS Pension Scheme?
You can either ask your new registered scheme
to write to the relevant Pensions Agency to initiate a transfer (advising them
of the time limits), or write directly to them yourself. If the transfer
is possible, a Cash Equivalent Transfer Value (CETV) will be provided. The
new scheme administrators will be able to advise on the level of benefits this
will acquire in the new scheme. You are not committed to proceeding with
the transfer as a result of having asked for a transfer value. This is
your opportunity to decide whether a transfer is in your interests.
Please refer to the question above regarding
the recent announcement on restricting transfers from “unfunded Public Sector
Schemes”.
