In response to my complaint that no method for applying for retrospective was available I have received the following response.
There were 3 points I made that I felt needed to be addressed
- A proper form to be provided to apply for retrospective additional pension
- A calculator to be provided to allow members to see the costs for purchasing retrospective AP in the years 2015 to 2022.
- A range of options for taking payment for the purchase of AP
The first of these has now been addressed, with a form for applying for retrospective additional pension now available: https://www.teacherspensions.co.uk/-/media/documents/member/applications/miscellaneous/apb-december-2023-v18-fs.ashx
The second and third have been ignored, though the response I have received does give the costs for two ages.
Thanks for all your advice. I managed to find your site 3 months before I’d have lost my bankable pay from 10 years ago.
I was reading this article, and was wondering what are the advantages are of backdating an election to buy extra pension?
Also, I found it amusing to read that you’ll receive further correspondence about this issue at a later date, but this is also your final answer about the question.
The advantages I explain in my other post on this topic.
