Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr L’s complaint, and no further action is required by HPE.

Complaint summary

Mr L’s complaint concerns HPE’s decision not to award annual discretionary increases to his pension in payment, for several years, as his benefits in the Plan were accrued prior to 6 April 1997. He is also unhappy that HPE has not provided reasons for its decision not to do so.
