What’s coming up?
Pensions Dashboards
Along with the rest of the pensions industry, we’re preparing for the introduction of the new Pensions Dashboards, which is being launched by the Government in 2026. Pensions Dashboards will enable you to see all of your pension savings in one place. This isn’t just for your GE Healthcare pension, it will show all of your pensions, including those from other employers and your State Pension.
Pension schemes each have different dates for when they need to connect to the Dashboards. We’ll be in touch with you with more information when it’s available.
Increase to Normal Minimum Pension Age
Currently, the Normal Minimum Pension Age is age 55. You may be able to draw your Plan pension earlier than this if you have a Protected Pension Age*, or if you’re suffering from ill health.
The Government has announced that the Normal Minimum Pension Age will increase to age 57 for people taking their benefits on or after 6 April 2028.
The aim of changing this is to keep the Normal Minimum Pension Age at around 10 years below the State Pension Age, which is due to rise gradually from age 66 to 67 between 2026 and 2028.
*A Protected Pension Age refers to the right to draw your Plan pension from age 50. If you choose to take your pension before the Normal Minimum Pension Age, you must leave the employment of GE HealthCare. If you have a Protected Pension Age, it would have been noted on the leavers statement issued to you when you stopped contributing to the Plan.
