Providing advice to Teacher’s Pensions Dr Noel McElearney December 2016

OH Assist Ltd Large Occupational Health (OH) provider. In addition largest specialist Pension Medical advisors: NHS Pension Scheme, Teachers in England and Wales , The Scottish Public sector scheme, Several employers in the LGPS, as well as a variety of private clients including the BP and RBS group of schemes. The Pension team provide advice in a quality managed environment on 8,000 cases per year.

The OH Assist Pensions Team Based mostly in Glasgow Dedicated doctors and administrators. Working in a fully managed quality system. System description Dedicated People (Employed) With appropriate qualifications (Disability and Occupational Medicine) Full training Pension Standards Quality and audit (IQAS and ISO) – looks at how a decision is made and how advice is written Work in streams and with sets of cases.

Providing Pensions Advice is different. It is advice, not a decision. It must be complaint with what the Ombudsman expects in regards Pensions Legislation in general and the schemes rules in particular. Must not be perverse Must comply with the PO’s interpretations in general. Sufficient information Meaning of undefined words. It may be disputed, twice under IDRP. (OH advice is only disputed in a tribunal)

The OH Assist Pension standards (designed to Ombudsman proof advice) All advice must comply with the OH Assist Pension standards. (approved by Clinical Governance Board) These require the Pension Medical Adviser to set out : Unique Identifiers for a member, the criteria for the (subset) scheme, the medical evidence used the decision and An QA compliant rationale for that decision. For multi tier schemes an Omnibus approach is required. The rationale must be Written in plain language and accessible to a lay person. OH Standards, comment is where schemes are multi tiered then an Omnibus approach is needed.

Working with TP Member completes part A (includes a section asking how the illness affects them) Employer completes Part B Medical advisor completes the Medical Information Form at Part B. Several pages designed to gather the relevant medical evidence. These forms are sent to TP and uploaded to Hartlink system. TP notify OH Assist that the latest batch of cases are uploaded, and OH Assist will allocate to a PMA. The PMA writes the report live within the TP system. We sometimes have to resort to contingency to keep delivering

The 2 tier criteria

Terms explained Appropriate medical treatment – means appropriate for the impairing medical condition reasonable for the member to undertake impact is on capability to serve as a teacher and/or ability to carry out any other work NICE guidelines define appropriate treatment for most cases. Existing establishment or elsewhere means any school or place of education. (Differs in Scotland) Retirement Age – varies with section of the scheme Impairment by 90% to carry out any work to NRA.
