If you’ve previously worked for the NHS in England or Wales and are not sure if you paid into a pension, read the ‘Membership record’ factsheet on our website.
To check if you have pension membership, contact our helpdesk. You must have your National Insurance (NI) number.
Membership enquiry form
We may request you complete a membership enquiry form.
The form to complete depends on when you think you contributed to the Scheme.
If this was during a period of employment within the last 7 years, complete form SM27B. This must be sent to the NHS employer you were working for.
If it was during a period of employment over 7 years ago, complete form SM27C. This must be sent to us.
