Teachers: Workplace Pensions

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent steps her Department has taken to provide a remedy to the Teachers' Pension Scheme following the McCloud judgement.

Answered by Catherine McKinnell

Approximately 596,000 members of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme require Remediable Service Statements (RSSs) setting out their choices as part of the transitional protection (McCloud) remedy. Of those, approximately 532,000 RSSs were issued by 31 March 2025.

The remaining RSSs for members who retired before the relevant legislation was in place, are those that cannot be automated due to their complexity. The department is continuing to work with the scheme administrator to identify ways to increase capacity to complete this work.
