Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr K’s complaint, and no further action is required by NHS BSA. 

Complaint summary

Mr K has complained that he disagrees with NHS BSA’s decision that his mother’s estranged husband, Mr E, is entitled to benefits from the Scheme following his mother’s death. His mother’s wishes were that the Lump Sum on Death (LSOD) was paid to him and the ongoing pension to be paid to Mr H with whom she had been living for an extended period of time.
