Ad Hoc
Management Information
Dataset Description
This ad hoc management information release provides information on the processed volumes of Remediable Service Statements (RSS) delivery & Remediable Pension Savings Statement (RPSS) as part of the Public Service Pensions remedy (‘McCloud’) up to 18 May 2026.
Overview of Remediable Service Statements (RSS)
The ’McCloud’ remedy addresses the age discrimination identified in the 2015 public service pension scheme reforms, giving eligible members the choice between legacy and reformed scheme benefits for the remedy period (April 2015 to March 2022). NHS Pension scheme members affected by McCloud are sent a Remediable Service Statement (RSS) so they can make an informed choice about their pension benefits.

Overview of Remediable Pension Savings Statement (RPSS)
Some members affected by McCloud, will need to update their pension tax information with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) after they make their decision. In cases where this applies, members will be sent an RPSS. For more information, visit: https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/public-service-pensions-remedy-mccloud/understanding-effect-rollback-annual-allowance

Caveats
Information: Data Collection Methodology
This data is collected via a manual process. The number of RSS and choice decision forms is physically counted by operational and administrative colleagues in the NHS Pension Service, who then log the totals in our NHS Pensions Compendia case management system. We then export this information to our data dashboard for publication.
Information: Interpreting Totals
The figures in this dataset represent different stages of the RSS process. This means the numbers in related columns will not always add up exactly to the totals recorded in other columns.
This reflects the normal progression of a case through the RSS process and should not be interpreted as data quality issues.
This also means it is not possible to derive additional data points by adding or subtracting the published figures. These numbers should be interpreted as standalone counts rather than components of a single calculable total.
Information: Using the Data in the Media
Please contact communicationsteam@nhsbsa.nhs.uk if you plan to publish content or a media story based upon this data. This is important to ensure that the figures are not misunderstood or misrepresented.
