Mental Health Officer (MHO) and Special Class (SC) status are only relevant to eligible 1995 Section members. Although not relevant to the 2015 Scheme, it may still need to be recorded to establish possible early retirement criteria for those members who hold preserved rights in the 1995 Section. Employers will need to continue to accurately record either status in these circumstances. The same processes and forms used for protected 1995 members will continue to apply.
