Original Choice members who moved to the 2008 Section have not been given the option to reverse their Choice decision as those members could have remained in the 1995 Section.
However, members who had 1995 Section benefits that they decided to move to the 2008 Section – as part of the Choice 2 exercise – may have the option to revisit their decision.
The deadline for members to decide which section they would like to join has been extended to Tuesday 18 June 2024.
We’ve updated the information available in the McCloud Hub on our website to help members make their decision.
Members now have access to:
- a factsheet – including an example and answers to common questions
- a decision tree – showing how the age that a member wants to retire may affect which Section is best for them
- an illustrator – a tool to help members understand how factors like retirement age, joining date, final salary, and full or part time hours affect pension benefits in both sections of the Scheme
If a member has a question, they can contact mccloudchoice2@nhsbsa.nhs.uk and we’ll respond within two weeks.
