This is the time of year when any members wishing to retire as of 31st August would be submitting their applications.

The Teachers’ Pay and Pensions Team (TPPT) have put in place contingency arrangements to enable you to apply for your pension using the TP4 form on-line. Forms are available for download from the TPPT website at https://www.education-ni.gov.uk/topics/teaching-staff.

For temporary teachers and those no longer in employment within the education sector, applications can be submitted directly to Teachers.Pensions@education-ni.gov.uk.

Supporting documentation can also be submitted electronically.
