PLEASE NOTE: Some law firms are touting for business among public sector pension scheme members, including TPS, relating to the recent discrimination cases. Members are advised that they cannot win any cash, only a promise to get put into the best pension scheme, which is what they already have.
Teacher's Pension Scheme consultation
The government is consulting members of public sector pension schemes about the age discrimination that occurred in the schemes between 2015 to date. The remedy is to give everyone a choice about how they want their pension to be calculated for the period 2015 to 2022 either final salary or career average and when to make the choice now or at retirement.
