Subject
Ms Williams’ complaint about NHS Pensions, the managers of the Scheme, is that they should re-instate her Special Class status (SCS) under the Scheme which she says was removed in 2004. She adds that she has believed over the last 36 years that she qualified for SCS and planned accordingly.
The Pensions Ombudsman’s determination and short reasons
I find in Ms Williams’ favour. The nature of her work means that she does in fact qualify for SCS.
