Teachers’ Pension Scheme (PO-10419)
Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome
I do not uphold Mrs R’s complaint and no further action is required by TP.
My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.
Complaint summary
Mrs R has complained that she has been refused an enhanced pension under Regulation 107(a) of Teachers’ Pensions Regulations 2010, (the Regulations), which states a person must apply for ill heath pension within six months of leaving pensionable service to receive the enhanced incapacity benefit.
Mrs R says that the Department of Education (DoE), acting for the Secretary of State, should consider allowing an extension of the six months’ time limit and award her the enhanced incapacity benefits.
