Complaint summary
Mr L has complained that the Council should have calculated Mr N’s death grant (the death grant) based on the value of his pension at the time of his death, not at the date of his retirement.
He wants Mr N’s estate to receive an amount of £6,006.97, plus interest, representing the additional amount of the death grant based on the higher pension amount, less the amount of pension that had been paid to Mr N’s bank account after his death.
