We advised in a previous newsletters that employers are no longer required to send the paper SD502 opt out form to NHS Pensions and we have amended the form to include this advice. Instead, it is the employer’s responsibility to retain the form in line with your own retention policy.
Despite this we are continuing to see forms coming through to us. To date, we have returned the form to the employer however from the 4 January 2022 we will no longer return any SD502 forms we receive these. Instead these will be securely disposed of.
