Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS): transitional protection remedy

Changes to the TPS rules are necessary to remedy the discrimination that was identified when the public service pension schemes were reformed in 2015. These regulations will result in all eligible members with reformed scheme service being retrospectively returned to the legacy scheme.

All eligible members will then be offered a choice of benefits (legacy or reform) at retirement for the remedy period (1 April 2015 to 31 March 2022).

The consultation seeks responses from those likely to be affected by the proposed regulations.
