1/17 Important thread 🧵 on the unnecessary complexity of pensions taxation and why it's unreasonable to expect individuals to "estimate" liabilities when administrators struggle. Please read to the end. #NHSPension #PensionTax
On #NationalcancerCNSDay shout out to the amazing invaluable Lung Cancer CNSs I work with @UHDBTrust and the EM lung Ca ODN. Can't do without them and we need more asap @uhdbRespiratory 🙏

This National No Smoking Day, let's encourage our patients to quit smoking for good. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for about 85% of cases. 10% of people survive lung cancer for more than 10 years: Let's break that cycle together. youtube.com/@cancer_east
Everyone Health offer a fantastic service so signpost your friends/colleagues who smoke this #NSD2025

1/ Oh dear @drlukeevans
In Feb👇 you were told 70,000 RPSS issued with remaining 60,000 "majority should be issued by end of Feb 25"
That position was itself a *complete disgrace* - all *should* have been issued by the statutory deadline October 2024.
So today's update...
NEW: Appalling performance from @NHSBSA 👇
60,000 NHS RPSS statements still outstanding. NHSBSA said they were meant to start coming out in April 2024, the *statutory* deadline was Oct 2024
Thank you again @drlukeevans for highlighting the mess around pensions admin and AA tax

@goldstone_tony I haven't received RPSS or PSS despite request earlier in year so emailed to chase and got the response in the thread. Do you know why a manual calc is required? Do you know what the IT issue is?
your Remediable Pension Savings Statement is currently in Phase Two, which requires manual calculations. Unfortunately, we do not have a timeline for when this will be completed, but we will send it to you once it is done. Additionally, we cannot send your service extract due to
