Local Government Pension Scheme (CAS-65170-S1N9)
Ombudsman’s Determination
Outcome
I do not uphold Ms R’s complaint and no further action is required by DCC.
Complaint summary
Ms R has complained that DCC will not allow her to defer receiving her Scheme benefits until her State Pension age (SPA) and that it refuses to increase them at the rate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). She has also complained that DCC made errors on a number of statements it sent her, and which showed that her Scheme benefits would be lower than those in earlier statements.
In her view, the Scheme Regulations contravene UK Equality legislation because they state she has to take her benefits at age 60.
