Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr D’s complaint and no further action is required by the Trustee.

Complaint summary

Mr D has complained that he has been incorrectly retained in the Old Scheme despite returning a completed ‘Time to Choose’ option form to transfer to the New British Steel Pension Scheme (the New Scheme). As a result, he has now been transferred to the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) and is receiving a lower level of pension.
