Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr E’s complaint and no further action is required by the Fund.

My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.

Complaint summary

Mr E’s complaint against the Fund is that it has not met its statutory obligations to inform him there was a change to the Scheme, namely a reduction to the late retirement factors.

Had he been aware of the reductions he would have acted to avoid being affected by these changes.
