NHS Pensions has updated the ill heath retirement forms, making the question on life expectancy mandatory for all applications. If this is not completed, an application form will be returned causing potential delay for the members application.
Please destroy any old paper versions of the form(s) you may have. The new versions of the forms are available under ‘retirement’ on the Employer Forms page of the Employer Hub and include:
- Consideration of entitlement to ill health retirement benefits (AW33E) version 19 Ill Health AW33E
- Consideration of entitlement for early payment of deferred benefits due to ill health (AW240) - version 13 Ill Health AW240
