Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mrs F’s complaint and no further action is required by Phoenix Life.

Complaint summary

Mrs F, daughter of the late Mr T and a co-executrix of his estate, believes that his pension policy owes a payment to his estate, equal to approximately ten months of arrears in pension payments. However, Phoenix Life has said that the policy was set up in arrears without proportion, so no payment is due.
