Complaint Summary
Mrs Hill’s complaint is that her application for an ill health pension was not considered correctly.
Summary of the Ombudsman’s Determination and reasons
The complaint should not be upheld against TP or DfE because it cannot be said that it was perverse, based on the medical evidence, for TP to have decided that Mrs Hill was not permanently incapacitated and that the criterion for ill health early retirement benefits in the Scheme Regulations had therefore not been met.
