<p>To date, 4,827 RSS Decision Forms have been returned, of which 4,332 have been processed. It should be noted that NHS Pension Scheme Members do not need to return their RSS if they wish to remain in receipt of their existing legacy scheme benefits. As we are working in order of those most likely in financial detriment, however, we expect the majority in the earlier cohorts to respond.</p>
<p>All information is correct as of 30 December 2025.</p>
