Harry Potter teacher needs pension magic
The Observer
|September 14, 2025
I taught JK Rowling A-level English literature 40 or more years ago and am now retired.
After having received monthly pension instalments from the Teachers' Pensions scheme for over 10 years, out of the blue came a letter from TPS in September 2024 informing me of an "overpayment".
It said: “I am writing to inform you that, unfortunately, an overpayment of your retirement benefits amounting to £1,617.53 has occurred. Since your original benefits were calculated your former employer has notified Teachers' Pensions of changes which have affected the calculation of your retirement benefits...
Teachers' Pensions are obliged to recover all overpayments incorrectly paid from public funds ... and as such I must ask you to repay the amount of £1,617.53.”
