The person in question is seeking to have a short period of teaching service, which was non-pensionable when given, reckoned in the calculation of her teacher's pension. As part of recent changes in teachers superannuation it has been agreed in principle that this category of service may be reckoned for pension purposes in the case of teachers in service after a specific date. The detailed arrangements, which are quite complex are nearing finalisation. In this regard a circular letter is being prepared and is expected to be issued to schools at the beginning of the 2008/09 school-year. I have asked officials in my Department to revise this person's pension in line with the new arrangements. They should be in contact with her shortly.
