@DrHenryinvestor Well yes, £60k assuming income <£200k. That situation changes rapidly when income exceeds this, with pension growth calculations both complicated and unpredictable. Hence, I’d strongly advise specialist advice when calculating unused AA
I don’t know any clinician who values the opinions of @NHSEngland & its leaders.
It is inappropriate for NHSE to interfere in industrial action.
The optics of a senior clinician who has better salary & pension than our residents could aspire to, telling them not to strike - are terrible.
I’m embarrassed for you @svig2
@Ajouk@FinancialMBChB@TheBMA I agree re early retirement, but people do take a hefty income hit for the privilege. Young doctors do start on modest pay, but this is substantially lower in real terms than 2008. Not the case in the private sector and the main point of the strike
@Ajouk@FinancialMBChB@TheBMA As they should, they’re highly qualified professionals. But these early retirees also belong to a ‘golden’ cohort of high wages and low housing/living costs. It’s a very different situation for doctors today
@Ajouk@FinancialMBChB@TheBMA Do you think perhaps these doctors are on a legacy scheme that isn’t linked to state pension age? A scheme that has been closed to any new members since 2015?
@theradgeygadgey@Kashus27 Where have you parroted this from? A basic Google search will tell you that the NHS pension is linked to state pension age and has been for more than 10 years. And training jobs are getting scarcer by the minute
