Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mrs Y’s complaint and no further action is required by NHSBSA.

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

Mrs Y complains that NHSBSA, the manager of the Scheme, has wrongly declined her application for permanent injury benefits (PIB) on the grounds that the injuries to her back and neck were not wholly or mainly attributable to her NHS employment.
