Here at Teachers’ Pensions one of our aims is to help you with member queries. We know that it’s a complex Scheme for members to understand and with the changes brought in by Transitional Protection it means more members than ever are asking how their benefits are calculated.

We’ve recently updated a couple of resources that will help with member queries on how they can access their benefits and the conditions of accessing these.

As we’re approaching a very busy time with member retirement applications, we’ve decided to highlight these updated guides and share them with you.

The first guide (PDF, 269 KB) (This link opens in a new window) outlines the different retirement options a member will have depending on their age and which scheme they have benefits built up in.

The second (PDF, 230 KB) (This link opens in a new window) explains the conditions that must be met by members in order to take these retirement options.

We advise you to familiarise yourself with these to help you with future member queries.
