What Is The McCloud Remedy Scheme And How Is It Affecting Doctors?

The McCloud remedy scheme was introduced to counteract age discrimination that occurred between April 2015 and March 2022.

Older members (aged 55 or over as of 1^st April 2012) of the NHS pension scheme had protection when a new scheme was introduced in 2015, and were able to remain on the 1995/2008 scheme. However, younger members were offered no protection and were placed on the 2015 scheme immediately.

To combat this discriminatory period the two-part McCloud remedy scheme was introduced:

1) All active members of the NHS pension scheme joined the 2015 scheme from 1^st April 2022 to ensure equal treatment going forward.
2) Currently, all members affected by discrimination between 2015-2022 have had their pensionable service placed into the 1995/2008 scheme, this is known as ‘rollback’.

A new retirement process is currently being constructed that allows members to make their McCloud choice at retirement (retired members can do this retrospectively).

This decision has changed how NHS pensions are calculated and will present doctors with an important choice regarding their pension. While the new retirement process has not yet been finalised, DS Burge & Co can support you in navigating this complexity and preparing for your decision.
