Subject
Ms Nowacka’s complaint is that Xafinity Paymaster refunded her PCSPS contributions instead of transferring her entitlement to the New Police Pension Scheme (NPPS).
The Pensions Ombudsman’s determination and short reasons
The complaint should be upheld. Ms Nowacka received confusing correspondence and her home address was not used. In consequence Ms Nowacka missed the opportunity to transfer her entitlement to NPPS.
