2.2 New GP payments items currently under develpment 2.2.1 CR5871 This change has been raised in respnse t the NHS Pensins intrductin f the Early Retirement Reductin Buy-ut Optin (ERRBO) scheme, and prpses mdificatins t NHAIS applicatins recrding GP Pensin returns Intrductin f the 2015 NHS Pensin Scheme in April this year replaces the fixed NPA (Nrmal Pensin Age) f 60 years fr the 1995 Scheme r 65 years fr the 2008 Scheme, with a variable NPA which aligns t the SPA (State Pensin Age) as at date f retirement. This means that fr 2015 Scheme members their nrmal date f retirement (the age at which they can draw an unabated NHS Pensin) will increase during the next decades, initially rising frm 65 t 66 years between Nvember 2018 and Octber 2020. Further increases in SPA are planned, t rise frm 66 t 67 years frm 2026 thrugh t 2028 and again frm 67 t 68 years frm 2044 t 2046. These changes will under current NHS Pensins Legislatin als increase the Nrmal Pensinable Age (NPA) at which an unabated pensin can be drawn under the 2015 NHS Pensins Scheme. NHS Pensins recgnise the ptential impact f these changes n members and have intrduced a new buy-ut ptin, applicable and available nly within the 2015 Scheme. This buy-ut (ERRBO) invites members t purchase the ptin f aviding pensin abatement, shuld they decide t retire early (at age 65, 66 r 67) instead f at SPA which will eventually rise t 68. CR5871 has been raised in respnse intrductin f ERRBO and requests mdificatin t the Payments System t accmmdate deductin and recrding f ERRBO cntributins. It is planned that this will be achieved by intrductin f a new superannuatin Paycde. Additinal mdificatins are required t Payments System Superannuatin screen applicatins, GB, GA, GQ and EY; Superannuatin prcessing n FJ-EYOR; variance recrding n EV and FJ-EVPB and payments prcessing n FJ-NMPP and assciated EZ display screen. There are als assciated implied mdificatins t Open Exeter Statement Display. High level design t scpe individual applicatins changes is already in prgress with wrk n individual mdules anticipated t start early this mnth (Octber).
