A contingent decision is a decision you made or did not make because of actual or perceived implications of the 2015 Scheme reforms.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) published the outcome of its consultation on how contingent decisions will be administered in the NHS Pension Scheme.
You may have acted differently at the time if you had known you would have remained in the 1995 or 2008 Scheme during the remedy period, 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2022.
If your service for the remedy period has been rolled back to the 1995 or 2008 Scheme and you're affected by annual allowance, you can find more information on our website.
Read guidance about contingent decisions for:
- choice 2 revocation
- early retirement reduction buy out (ERRBO) contributions
- opt outs
- added benefits
For any other requests, complete the contingent decision application form.
Provide as much information about your request as possible including why you would have made a different decision if not for the discrimination and your preferred outcome.
You can read more information about contingent decisions on our website.
If you have costs you think have been incurred because of the Public Service Pensions Remedy (PSPR), read more information on our NHS Cost Claim Back Scheme page.
