Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

Mr S’s complaint against the Council and DPP is partly upheld, but there is a part of the complaint I do not agree with. To put matters right, for the part that is upheld, the Council shall pay Mr S £500 for the significant distress and inconvenience caused to him in failing to correct its pension records.

My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.

Complaint summary

Mr S has complained that his pension benefits have been wrongly calculated as they factor in a refund of contributions, which he says did not happen.
