Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr K’s complaint and no further action is required by Prudential

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

Complaint summary

Mr K and his adviser have complained that Prudential did not inform them that Guaranteed Annuity Rates (GARs) are not available after age 70.

Mr K claims financial loss due to the lower annuity rates now available to him as he is over 70 years old.

Mr K’s adviser states that the rules do not say that the GARs do not apply after age 70.
