Teacher Pension

[11toast]

Hi, is anyone able to
tell me how long I need to wait until I can log in to see
my teacher pension?
There was an update over October half term and the website just says ‘soon’ with no actual dates mentioned?

you will be able to open an on line account

Hi, thank you, I already have an account, there’s a new provider that’s taken over during half term and there’s no way to log in at the moment! I thought someone might know when it would be available?

Are you in the Facebook group ‘Teacher pensions - teacher to teacher (UK)?
I highly recommend it if not.

I think 2nd November it was supposed to be ‘live’ but they’ve asked people to wait to log in unless urgent so that they can cope with demand.

I can’t log in yet either, OP. If it’s urgent, you can ring them, I believe.

Thank you both for your posts, I’m hoping I can log in in the week or so! I haven’t seen that fb page, I will take a look! If anyone is successful at logging in please do let me know! Thank you x

@11toast You’re welcome. Good luck with getting through soon.
The facebook group is definitely worth a look. Lots of very knowledgeable people and resources to help with the minefield that is teachers’ pensions!

I think David Fountains Facebook group (mentioned by a previous poster) now has a bit of an instruction crib sheet indicating what you need to log on.

I do believe there are lots of glitches with it though with tons of things missing.

Tata have only had 2 years to get this sorted.

I’ve managed to log in but what a faff!

Thank you for letting us know! Can I ask if your benefit statement was there and if you were able to view it or download it?

Teachers Pensions used to be really good. However, over the last few years the service deteriorated until it caused endless frustrations. I used to get into it when I wanted then I had to resort to ringing them. Codes would be sent that didn’t work etc etc. When my daughter needed to apply for a pension she was in the same position.Now they have been taken over by a new provider which appears to be the same company that has been in charge of the Civil Service Pensions. They have been inundated with complaints about long waits for pensions. I just hope they get their act together and redeem their reputation. I dread having to contact them and just hope by the time they have settled in that things improve.
