Teachers’ Pension Scheme (PO-6133)

Complaint summary

Mr Keable has complained that Teachers’ Pensions did not alert him to an overpayment of his pension which accrued following his re-employment after retirement. Mr Keable believes that the overpayment should be waived

Summary of the Ombudsman’s determination and reasons

The complaint is not upheld against Teachers’ Pensions. The evidence is that Mr Keable was made aware that it was his responsibility to inform Teachers’ Pensions of his re-employment following retirement. Further, the Limitation Act 1980 does not prevent recovery of the overpayment of pension by Teachers’ Pensions.
