If a member is deemed to be unfit to teach and therefore receives ill-health benefits, can they continue to work in a school in a support role and still receive their benefits?
A. If PIB is awarded because the member is assessed as being permanently unable to teach but able to do other work then they may be able to take up a support role. If the member is awarded a TIB pension and wishes it to continue, they must provide the Secretary of State with a certificate from a registered medical practitioner. This must state that in the opinion of the medical practitioner, the member must still meet the medical condition for TIB to be paid. The nature of the proposed employment will also assist the Secretary of State in coming to a decision about whether or not the TIB pension can continue to be paid. In all cases, TP should be informed of the employment. Further information can be found in the Employer Guide under Ill Health Retirement, Other information.
