Delays affecting new award claims
We apologise for the delay some of our customers are currently experiencing with their pension applications. This is affecting new award claims only and has been caused by transition to a new system in the past month. We aim to make payment within 30 days of the payable date, or the date that NHS Pensions receives all required information. The current processing time is currently closer to 60 days. We are working through the cases in strict date order and any interest will become payable should some pension benefits be paid late.
