Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mrs H’s complaint and no further action is required by the Trustee.

Complaint summary

Mrs H complains that:-

  • There were delays in the Trustee dealing with Mr H’s request for an Enhanced Transfer Value (ETV) prior to his death and the Trustee failed to mention the 14-day cooling-off period for acceptance of the ETV.
  • Following Mr H’s death in May 2017, the Trustee refused to allow the ETV to be completed and has offered Mrs H a spouse’s pension instead.
