Local Government Pension Scheme (CAS-50008-T7M8)
Local Pensions Partnership (LPP)
Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome
The complaint is upheld. If LPP had not provided Mr N with incorrect information, it is more likely than not that he and Ms E would have married in order to guarantee her entitlement to a pension from the Scheme. Consequently, Ms E is entitled to a survivor’s pension under the Scheme following his death.
Complaint summary
Ms E’s complaint is that her partner, Mr N, was told she would receive a survivor’s pension in the event of his death. It later transpired he had been misinformed.
