Subject
Mr P Crossan’s complaint is that the decision that the Trustees of the Scheme reached at their meeting on 12 October 2011, following a Determination by the Deputy Pensions Ombudsman on 16 September 2011, was improper.
The Pensions Ombudsman’s determination and short reasons
The complaint should not be upheld against the Trustees as it was reasonable for them to decide that Mr P Crossan did not meet the definition of Beneficiary and so could not qualify for the payment of a lump sum.
