Armed Forces Pension Scheme (PO-10171)
Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome
Mr Y’s complaint against Equiniti and Veterans UK is partly upheld, but there is a part of the complaint I do not agree with. To put matters right for the part that is upheld, Equiniti and Veterans UK shall write off that part of the overpayment the recovery of which is statute barred.
My reasons for reaching this decision are explained in more detail below.
