Does your teacher's pension confuse you? Do you have questions about it, but aren't sure where to find the answers? if so, then have a listen to the Your Money Sorted podcast. This is an informal chat to help demystify some common confusions around the teachers' pension schemes. Eileen Adamson chats to Kevin from Weslyan about the things that all teachers need to know about pensions.

In this episode, we are joined by Kevin Boyle from Wesleyan Assurance to help us demystify some terms that often confuse teachers when they're discussing their pension.

As a Senior Area Manager, Kevin manages a team of specialist financial advisers across Scotland and Northern Ireland who provide financial advice to teachers and other education professionals.

Be informed as you listen to our interesting discussion about pension scheme enrollment, the benefits, the difference between the Final Pay Scheme and the Care Scheme, the normal pension age, and how to make sure that you don't have good years of pension missing.
