Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr S’ complaint and no further action is required by NHS BSA.  

Complaint summary

Mr S’ complaint concerns a request by NHS BSA for him to repay a lump sum paid to his wife, Mrs S. The lump sum was in full commutation of her ill-health retirement pension. He does not agree with NHS BSA’s assertion that Mrs S was not entitled to ill-health retirement and that death in service benefits were payable.
