Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

Mrs E’s complaint against TP is partly upheld.

To put matters right, TP shall reduce the amount of the overpayment it is seeking to recover to £5,667.51. TP should also pay Mrs E £1,000 in total for the serious distress and inconvenience caused.

Complaint summary

Mrs E is unhappy because TP is attempting to recover an overpayment of £13,506.15 from her. 

The overpayment arose because TP originally calculated Mrs E’s retirement benefits using an incorrect pensionable service record.
