Local Government Pension Scheme (PO-20991)
Ombudsman’s Determination
Complaint Summary
Mr H complains that the Council incorrectly decided to award him Tier 2 ill health early retirement (IHER) benefits in the LGPS because he believes that he is entitled to Tier 1 benefits.
Summary of the Ombudsman’s Determination and reasons
The complaint should not be upheld against the Council because I do not consider that the Council has interpreted or applied the eligibility criteria for Tiers 1 and 2 benefits set out in Regulation 35(5) and 35(6) incorrectly or in a discriminatory manner.
