The Pension Unit of my Department is responsible for policy, regulatory, advice and operational functions relating to the pensions of staff within the education sector.
The highest priority within this work, is given to processing retirement benefits (lump sum payments and fortnightly pensions) for teachers and non-teaching staff who are scheduled to retire and to spouses/children of deceased members.
In addition each year the Pension Unit provide pension statements to more than 2,000 members and again priority is afforded to those who indicate that they intend to retire in the coming school year.
Officials in Pensions Unit of my Department have confirmed that a statement of teaching service will shortly issue directly to the person to whom the Deputy refers.
