@HMRCcustomers So I’ve been following the above steps, and I just get this:

[Simon Patel @SimonPatel1]

@HMRCcustomers I don’t think so, it just says ‘you are in credit’ and then the amount

[Simon Patel @SimonPatel1]

@BMA_Consultants Having thought a bit more, this is a massive problem. Anyone on 0% nodal points gets nothing, but also loses the ability to apply for local CEAs.

The 1.5% allocated for those CEAs has gone to fund pay rises elsewhere. So overall, -1.5% on average for those at 0% nodal points

[Simon Patel @SimonPatel1]

@BMA_Consultants Certainly progress, thanks. Still a lot of work to do bearing in mind pay erosion over years, and would like more detail re: DDRB reform.

If 1.5% is coming from reallocation of local CEAs, it does feel that the minimum uplift at each pay point should be 1.5%, rather than 0%

[Simon Patel @SimonPatel1]

@EmmaAtSplodge @goldstone_tony @BMA_Consultants It’s actually worse than 0%. It’s 0% and you’ve lost the ability to apply for CEAS. Using the 1.5% figure, that means on average the 0% groups are actually getting -1.5%

[Simon Patel @SimonPatel1]

@drshaypsych @EM_Dr_Jacklin @goldstone_tony @BMA_Consultants @trentconsultant Technically it’s a loss of pay, as you get 0% and lose the funding for you to apply for local CEAs.

Rob Goldsmith was a huge @Arsenal fan and it's an honour to do the #Yorkshire3Peaks this Saturday in his name for @BrittleBoneUK

Any chance of a retweet, or a video? #Gooners #Rob #Hike @m8arteta #OI #OICAN #Brittlebones

[Simon Patel @SimonPatel1]

2 days until the Yorkshire3Peaks in memory of Rob, raising money for the Brittle Bone Society here https://t.co/q8L99TbAeM

Here’s Rob in all his…glory 😂 in Rothbury Terrace 20 years ago(!). Apologies for the decor, my hair, and to Emily for posting the pic without permission…

@fliceverett @mancunianmedic Well that all depends on how you pronounce the word nugget

@TheGrinFandango You were an extra on Peep Show? Don’t think you’ve ever mentioned it 😂

[Simon Patel @SimonPatel1]

@Blueisdcolor @HCI_London @MEAIndia @sujitjoyghosh @CPVIndia @PIB_India @IndianDiplomacy No, but maybe release the announcement on a Sunday, when the centres are closed, so nobody ends up in such a situation. Also, maybe charge the amount (£72 each) clearly advertised online, not demand £116 plus £33 fees per person when you have travelled & have no choice but to pay
