This section of the website is for people who are receiving a Teachers' pension - retired teachers, dependants of former TP members (husband, wife, civil partner or child) or people who have been awarded a pension on divorcing, or dissolving a civil partnership with, a former TP member.
Teachers' pensions are usually paid monthly, directly into your bank account, and are taxable. You will get a P60 after the end of each tax year, showing you the amount of pension paid and tax deducted during the year.
Pensions Increase: The September RPI determines the pension increase for the following April. Therefore from 7 April 2008 both state retirement pensions and Teachers' pensions will increase by 3.9%.
If you have any tax queries, you should address them with the tax office dealing with your pension: HM Inspector of Taxes, South Wales Area (MU2), Ty Glas, CARDIFF, CF14 5YA.
If you change any of your personal details, such as your address, the bank/building society account your pension is paid into, name or marital status, you must contact us to ensure you continue to receive your pension. You can change some of your personal details (including name and address) and view your Payslips and P60s using My Pension Online.
Moving abroad: You can continue to receive your Teachers' pension overseas, further details are available here.
State benefits: You may also get a pension from the State - more information is available from The Pension Service.
