1 Pension reform is required because people are living longer. 2  Today, a 60-year-old doctor retiring can expect to enjoy 29 years of retirement. 3  This means drawing a pension for almost the same time as they worked for the NHS - 36 years. Compare this with a newly qualified doctor joining the reformed scheme after 2015. 2  He can expect a pension of over Â£53,000 at age 65 (the normal pension age for new joiners) or a pension of around Â£68,000 a year at his state pension age of 68.
1 You can normally start to take benefits from age 55. 2  If you cannot work due to ill health, and this is permanent, then you can take such a pension before age 55. 3  There is no upper age limit. 4  In the event of death, the remaining fund can be be used by a dependent to continue to make withdrawals, or buy an annuity.f you want to take pension benefits without buying an annuity, then you might want to consider flexi-access drawdown. This is one of the new methods of taking pension benefits introduced in April 2015. In many ways it is like previous options of drawdown but with unlimited withdrawals.
