Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

Mr Y’s complaint against USS 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), USS shall pay £500 to Mr Y.

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

Complaint summary

Mr Y has complained about the misinformation given by USS, the Scheme administrator, which led him to believe he would receive a higher lump sum and pension income.
