Thanks for raising this. I was also surprised by Tony’s thread and disappointed by how our involvement was misrepresented, especially as we exchanged DMs yesterday, which I answered in good faith. I explained that we simply provided a calculation tool (which matched Tony’s own results penny for penny), I pointed out The Times’ error on not using the actuarially reduced figure, and confirmed that the assumptions and scenario came entirely from The Times (we also provided The Times a quote to counter their narrative). I even encouraged Tony to challenge the numbers, as they don’t “reflect the reality on the ground,” and said I agreed that healthcare workers are significantly undervalued. I was disappointed to see that turned into a personal attack. I don’t understand the motivation and hope it’s just a misunderstanding. I’ve privately asked him to provide a correction. Those who know me and know Medifintech know that we stand up for healthcare workers and have been instrumental in righting many wrongs with the NHS Pension, and we’ll continue to do so.

😞 Hugely disappointing that the 24/25 PSS deadline has been missed - with 23/24 PSSs and many RPSSs still outstanding. ⚠️ Also concerning that the new batch of RPSSs from NHSBSA no longer show the old growth - it really feels like we’re going backwards. 📉 This change not only makes it harder for members to check if action’s needed, but also removes a useful prompt for recalling old annual allowance charges (often missed from the HMRC data extract) that could now be refundable.

💬 When I spoke to HMRC/HMT policy team we spoke about extending Scheme Pays deadlines for those with delayed RPSSs and they were optimistic ✅ Great to see it confirmed - now 6 July 2027 📌 Important for anyone wanting to use Scheme Pays for a new charge for 2019/20–2022/23

Looking forward to tonight’s @HCSANews NHS pension webinar: real RPSS errors we’ve uncovered saving members £000s, plus key updates on Contingent Decisions and how to avoid costly mistakes by blindly following NHSBSA quotes and processes. Register here: event.on24.com/wcc/r/5023400…

🚨 Don’t panic about the 6 July Mandatory Scheme Pays deadline🗓️ It doesn’t mean you can’t use Scheme Pays. ✅ Voluntary Scheme Pays is still available after this date. I raised this before, and again with HMRC’s policy team yesterday, suggested aligning the deadline with pensioner members (6 July 2027). 🤝 They seemed receptive, and we expect a response soon. #NHSpensions #McCloudRemedy #SchemePays

✅Productive meeting today with HM Treasury & HMRC 🧠Had the chance to explain the complex realities of the NHS Pension & interaction with tax, including TTFACs, taper trap & extending mandatory Scheme Pays deadline 🤝Encouragingly receptive to my suggestions🙏 💷Even one fix could save members ££
