Its Your Money
The Association seeks the help of its members, and indeed any concerned teachers, to protest to MPs and MSPs about the Government proposals to increase the pension age from 60 to 65.
The Association urges its members to write to their MP and MSP, and a sample letter and "key points" guide are available for download below. Whilst simply downloading the sample letter and sending this off would be good, it would be much more helpful for members to use the "key points" to compose their own letter. Such a letter will impact much more on an MP/MSP than a "copy letter" will.
A sample is available for download below as are the key points. To download right click on the link and select "Save Target as".

MODERNISATION OF THE TEACHERS' PENSION SCHEME (TPS):
MODERNISATION OF THE TEACHERS' PENSION SCHEME (TPS):
A PROGRESS REPORT — JULY 2004
Over the last six months or so, a considerable amount of progress has been made on the review of the TPS. Many aspects of the Scheme have been examined by the Teachers' Pension Review Group (made up of representatives from DfES, the Government Actuary's Department, teacher unions and employer associations as well as opposite numbers covering the Scottish and Northern Ireland teachers' schemes). The TPRG have now reached the point where there is sufficient clarity about a number of options for moving forward to enable a progress report to be made available to Scheme members.
