Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr N’s complaint and no further action is required by CSP. 

Complaint summary

Mr N’s complaint is that CSP will not allow him to claim retirement benefits accrued in the Scheme until he leaves employment.

Mr N also believes that he has suffered from age discrimination because he was not eligible to join the Partnership Pension Scheme as early as younger colleagues were able to do so.
