Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

  1. Mrs S’ complaint against NHS BSA is not upheld.

Complaint summary

  1. Mrs S’ pension payments were temporarily suspended. She blames this on poor communication by NHS BSA regarding the need to complete a Declaration of Entitlement document (the Declaration document). She complains that the Declaration document inadequately explains what the eligibility criteria is for her to continue receiving payments and that this information should be provided to her before signing.
