Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Ms R’s complaint and no further action is required by the Council.

Complaint summary

Ms R has complained that the Council failed to inform her in a timely manner that she did not qualify for a partly unreduced pension under the ‘85 year rule’ from the LGPS. In particular:-

She would have postponed her retirement until March 2022 to qualify for a partly unreduced pension, which would have been payable from age 60.
