Complaint summary
Mr H’s complaint against the Authority and the Council is that he was given incorrect information in 2006, which led him to leave his job prior to the Scheme’s “cut-off date” of 31 March 2006, in the belief that this would protect his right to retire at 60 which would otherwise be lost.
