Teachers Pensions

[Billybob31]

Has anyone else having difficulty with teachers pensions during a divorce?
I'm waiting for my pension valuation and it's taking months! I've waited 6 months and no sign of a valuation.
Every time I speak to Teachers pensions, they have a different story about why there is a delay. They seem to have stopped providing valuations altogether at the moment. The lady I spoke to today told me she can't give me an estimate of when it could be ready. It could be another 6 months!
It's been very stressful as I need the valuation before I can move forward with the divorce.
Anyone else in a similar position?

My DH retired on 2 June and hasn’t received his pension or lump sum from TPS and they can’t tell him when he will receive it, they’re a total disgrace

I've contacted teachers pensions again today and, despite the statement, they are saying that there is still no timescale and receiving a CETV could still take months.

No help at all, again! I've been waiting 10 months now.

My sister got hers very quickly once she wrote to her MP. I would suggest getting a letter ready for 5th July!

This thread is a worrying read. Are pp still waiting for their CETVs?

STBXH and I both have teachers’ pensions. His is much bigger than mine as he has always been full time and a headteacher for nearly ten years so it’s vital that it’s included in the negotiations for our financial settlement.

Can you just lodge a percentage instead on the report? We've split everything else already. I need a consent order to get the split of the uss but they won't return messages or calls!

Its all such a mess. Join the 'We need our CETV' group on Facebook.

If anyone is currently stuck in this situation and is interested in joining trying to campaign on this, please PM me.

They are terrible. I applied last November and still waiting. Lucky our judge recommended the Galbraith tables and we worked it out that way as our pensions are not that big. Have a look at them. https://mcact.co.uk/wp-2020/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/The-Galbraith-Tables-v2.0.pdf

Does anyone have any updates on this please? I applied for my cetv in Feb 2024 & was originally told 6 months. They’re now saying May 2025 at the earliest so 15 months & there’s no guarantee it will even be then. My divorce & house sale is all on hold & it’s really getting me down living in limbo 😥

1 year, 2 months for mine.

Still haven't got mine since December, despite the solicitor contacting them twice and paid £66 to speed it up. Disgusting. I do no know what to do. I am heading to the final hearing and this report is a must. I will be contacting Ombudsman. What takes them so long?
