Re-employment by people in receipt of Ill-health retirement benefits (IHRB), Partial Incapacity Benefit (PIB) and Total Incapacity Benefit (TIB).

Your entitlement to continue to receive a pension from the TPS will depend on:

• Whether you return to teaching employment or non-teaching employment.
• The date your retirement benefits were put into payment.
• The type of benefit:
  • if your application is received before 6 January 2007, you will be in receipt of IHRB.
  • if your application is received on or after 6 January 2007, you will be in receipt of (i) PIB only, or perhaps (ii) TIB in addition to PIB.

You will automatically cease to be entitled to the pension if:

• You are in receipt of a PIB plus TIB and you take up gainful employment. Any gainful employment would cause a TIB to stop immediately.
• You are in receipt of a PIB and you take up employment as a teacher or in another educational capacity covered by the TPS.
• You are in receipt of IHRB and you retired on or after 1 April 1997 but before 31 December 2006, you are aged under 60 and you return to full or part-time teaching employment.
• You are in receipt of IHRB and you retired before 1 April 1997, you are aged under 60 and you return to full-time teaching employment.
• In other circumstances it may be necessary for the DfES medical advisers to review your entitlement to the pension.

You must always notify TP of all teaching and non-teaching employment as this may affect your entitlement to continue to receive the pension.
