Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr R’s complaint and no further action is required by WPD or the Trustees.

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

Complaint summary

Mr R’s complaint is that:

  • his Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) has been included within his ‘basic’ Scheme pension, rather than paid to him in addition to it; and
  • has been funded from his employee contributions, rather than as liability on the Scheme funds.
