NHS Pension Scheme (CAS-58918-R9V9)
Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome
I do not uphold Mr E’s complaint, and no further action is required by NHS BSA.
My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below in paragraphs 45 to 53.
Complaint summary
Mr E has complained that NHS BSA incorrectly denied him early, unreduced retirement under Special Class Status (SCS) because he was not in pensionable employment as a “Nurse”.
Mr E has said that his role as an Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) required him to have a suitable professional registration and was for all intents and purposes, identical to nursing.
