Complaint summary
Mrs Readman has complained that the SoS, on behalf of Devon Primary Care Trust (the Trust) – her former employer, refused to authorise the payment of unreduced early retirement benefits to her.

The complaint should be upheld against SoS because their decision refusing to authorise the payment of unreduced early retirement benefits to Mrs Readman was perverse.
