From August 2024, NHS, pensioners will receive their pension earlier in the month.
We have made the decision to reduce the number of payrolls we run each month as part of our ongoing efforts to provide a cost-effective service to our members.
While this change will impact the payment date of the monthly pension, please be assured that this adjustment will not affect the amount of pension members receive each month.
If you retired after 2007 and currently receive your pension on the last working day of the month, there will be no change.
You can see the new pension payment dates and how they will apply to you in the table below:
| Current pay date | New pay date from August 2024 |
| 7th, 8th , 9th or 10th of the month | 6th of the month |
| 12th, 13th, 14th, or 15th of the month | 11th of the month |
| 17th, 18th, 19th or 20th of the month | 16th of the month |
| 22nd, 23rd, 24th, or 25th of the month | 21st of the month |
| 27th, 28th, 29th or 30th of the month | 26th of the month |
| 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th of the month | You will be paid on your usual pay date at the start of August. Your next monthly payment will be 30th August, then the last banking day of the month going forward |
