McCloud Judgement and the NHS PENSION / What happened and how will it work?

In 2015, the government introduced reforms to most public service pension schemes, including the NHS Pension Scheme. Members that were close to retirement at the time were protected from moving to the reformed schemes, and could therefore remain in their existing schemes. Members with full protection did not have to move to the reformed scheme at all, and members with tapered protection were permitted to remain in their existing scheme for longer, with their move to the reformed scheme delayed beyond 1 April 2015.

In December 2018, the Court of Appeal found these protections to be discriminatory against younger members. This has become known as the ‘McCloud judgment’. The government has now announced a remedy to remove this discrimination and ensure equal treatment going forward.
