Beyond appalling: they treat bereaved families with contempt

Beyond appalling. My experience with this inept organisation following my mother's death in August beggars belief. I've sent emails, phone calls, their official forms and I'm still waiting for help! The bereavement department doesn't answer emails, doesn't have a phone number, refuses to release information on the money owed to my mother's estate unless I supply my bank account (contrary to official advice for executors) and, to crown it all, sent me five duplicate standard letters today costing their members several pounds and not answering the questions I'd asked in any way shape or form. I hope the CEO is proud of this shocking excuse of an outfit he presides over. They are treating bereaved families with contempt. Reviewed on: 21st October 2022

Not as good as it was!

A teacher's pension is good, in comparison to other (non DB) pensions, but the new version is far inferior to the original final salary scheme I signed up to years ago. I am now no longer able to retire until state pension age, which delays my retirement plans by 7 years! The website is not too bad - it cannot predict accurately the pension of someone who is on both schemes (both Final Salary and CARE), though, which will be many people since the recent switch to the CARE scheme. Other thann that, it's quite easy to log in and keep an eye on how your pension is growing over time, and that is much better than the old annual paper statement we used to receive. On balance, I would recommend anyone eligible to sign up for the TPS - it still trumps most private and employer pensions, and anyone who can do should certainly not hesitate to join.
