Ref: PO-9568
Outcome: Not upheld
Respondent: Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited
Type: Pension complaint or dispute
Date:
Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome
I do not uphold Dr D’s complaint and no further action is required by USS.
My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.
Complaint summary
Dr D is unhappy because, as a re-employed retired member, he has to pay higher contributions into the Scheme. As the Scheme is a defined benefit scheme, he will not receive additional benefits for his higher contributions. He is therefore unhappy that he is paying more into the Scheme than others, yet will not derive any additional benefit from it.
