Retiring Shortly? - Dynamising Factor Concerns
Dr Hamish Meldrum, Chairman of the
GPC has recently reassured GPs who are planning to retire in
the near future that their dynamising factors will adjusted
to take account of recent increases in GP income. His
comments are reproduced here:
"It
should also be noted that those GPs who were planning on
retiring on or shortly after 1 April 2006 to seek maximum
benefit from the predicted increase in the dynamising
factor, can still do so. Pension payments, as well as the
lump sum, will be based on the 2003-06 interim dynamising
factors. Any increase in these dynamising factors, once
announced, above the interim will then be adjusted, and
backdated, in both the GP pension payments and lump sum to
ensure that these GPs receive the correct payments.” |
