the NHS pension folk will send on a AA statement now - you need to be aware of the count back rule for AA allowances you can bring forward, the following link allows you to put the NHS figures into the HMRC calculator to calculate if you have run foul of the AA limit and owe them tax !!

there is no protection for AA like there is for the LTA.

you can stop contributing, but the pot will still inflate by the CPI + ? figure.

currently AA = 50K [Oct 2013]
April 2014 -> = 40K
