Interesting suggestion passed to us by our LMC secretary. I was going to do this anyway, but he kindly provided the link enabling me to do it with little effort (apart from looking up my NI number!) I have just submitted a query to the NHS pensions agency asking for an estimate of my pension lump sum and annual value as at 31.3.08 if I were to take early retirement. This is not to imply in any way that I will retire then, but I might. Would other GP's perhaps consider having a free update on their pension value, maybe to check for the 45% rise in value that was promised by the GPC. This action could send a powerful message to a government organisation, if it was suddenly inundated with enquires. It took me less than 5 minutes and required either your National insurance number , or your SD number (an 8 digit number from your last enquiry), though paradoxically it would not accept both, at the following website. http://www.nhspa.gov.uk/nhspa_site/contact/contact_us.cfm Might I suggest that you include the date of valuation to be as at 31.3.08. -- Best Wishes Paul Bromley www.informatiks.com Custom EMIS LV Software. vuE | GPLabels | GPDocs | eGFRChecker
