Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mrs Y’s complaint and no further action is required by the Trustee or Capita.

Complaint summary

Mrs Y has complained:-

  • About the way her benefits were commuted to provide her with a Pension Commencement Lump Sum (PCLS). Mrs Y asserts that she has suffered a financial loss because the element of her pension that is subject to increases in payment was commuted first to provide the PCLS.

  • That she was provided with incorrect information prior to her retirement, which led her to choose a retirement option that has resulted in her being financially disadvantaged in retirement.
