Retired UK teachers face pension payment delays

Newly retired UK teachers are experiencing significant delays in receiving their pension payments, causing financial distress and worry. Many teachers who retired this summer have not received their expected lump sums or monthly payments, with some facing difficulties paying bills. Complaints cite backlogs and poor communication from Teachers' Pensions, which manages the scheme. The delays are linked to administrative issues, including a contract transition and a court judgment on pension reforms. Capita, the administrator, states some cases are resolved and others are being processed.
