Can I View My NHS Pension Online?
If you work for the NHS or have done so in the past, you may be wondering how to view your NHS Pension and keep track of your retirement benefits. The good news is that the NHS is gradually rolling out a secure digital platform that allows members to view their pension details online.
This article explains how to access your NHS Pension online, who can use the system, what you can see once logged in, and what to do if you haven’t yet received access.
Is it possible to view your NHS Pension online?
Yes — NHS Pension Scheme members can view their pension details online via the My NHS Pension portal, which is managed by NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA). This secure system is being introduced in stages and provides a convenient way for both active and former members to view and manage their pension.
However, not everyone has access yet. The roll-out is gradual, so you’ll need to wait for an invitation before you can register.
What is My NHS Pension?
My NHS Pension is a secure online platform that allows you to:
View your Annual Benefit Statement (ABS) or Total Reward Statement
Review your pensionable pay and service history
Update your contact and personal details
Nominate or update beneficiaries
(If retired) view payslips, tax codes and P60s
Access guidance and support relating to your NHS Pension
The portal provides a transparent, self-service way to monitor your pension entitlement and plan for retirement.
Who can access it?
As of now, the My NHS Pension portal is available to:
Active NHS staff whose employer has signed up to the portal
Deferred members (those who have left the NHS but still hold pension rights)
Pensioners who started receiving their NHS Pension after 2015
Some non-ESR (Electronic Staff Record) employees, depending on employer arrangements
If you are eligible, you’ll receive an invitation letter or email with registration details.
How to register for My NHS Pension
To register, you’ll need the following:
Your NHS Pension Scheme (SD) number
Your National Insurance number
Your registration code, provided in your invitation
Steps:
Select “Register” and enter the required details
Create a username and password
Set up two-factor authentication (via SMS or authenticator app)
Confirm your email address and store your recovery codes safely
Once registered, you can log in at any time to check your pension details and make updates where needed.
What if you haven’t been invited yet?
If you haven’t received an invite, you won’t be able to register just yet — but the rollout is ongoing. In the meantime, you can:
Access your Total Reward Statement (if you’re an active member) via the NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR) portal
Request your Annual Benefit Statement by contacting NHS Pensions
Speak to your employer’s payroll or HR department to check if your organisation is part of the current roll-out
You can also contact NHS Pensions using their support line or web form to express interest in accessing your pension details online.
Final thoughts
You can view your NHS Pension online if you’ve received an invitation to register for the My NHS Pension portal. This system offers a secure and convenient way to stay informed about your pension entitlement, track your service history, and prepare for retirement.
If you haven’t received access yet, don’t worry — you can still view pension information through the ESR portal or request paper statements. And once the full rollout is complete, all NHS pension scheme members will be able to manage their pensions digitally.
