- As has previously been reported, there have been large amounts of unallocated money held by NHSE via PCSE/Capita, some of which relates to GP pensions.
- Needless to say, if you have paid money to Capita which sits in this pot, it has not been allocated to your pension, and is another possible reason your pension record will not update.
- As of November 2018, the total was £7.4m (not all of which was pensions), and this is now down to £6.3m. Of this, an estimated £500k related to GP pensions, and this is now below £5k.
- PwC have generally been able to link money back to the payees, and Capita are then contacting the employer 3x to ask them for references for the relevant form submissions (to allow them to link the cash to pension records). Where this fails, the cases are passed back to NHSE to make ongoing contact.
- Progress in being made, therefore, at allocating this money properly, and GP Survival’s impression is that this will tie in with the ongoing work on GP SOLO forms, in that cases we have raised suggest that payments from employers covering a number of members are not being matched to those members’ pensions
