Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mrs Y’s complaint, and no further action is required by NHS Borders or SPPA.

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

Complaint summary

Mrs Y has complained that her pension is subject to an early retirement reduction because she retired at age 55. Mrs Y believed that she held Mental Health Officer (MHO) status, so she should not be subject to these reductions.
