Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

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

Complaint summary

Mr S has been authorised by the other Executors to act on behalf of Dr L’s Estate. He has complained that:-

  • A serious ill health lump sum is due from the Scheme, rather than a death in service payment. 
  • Dr L’s estate should be paid the value of the serious ill health lump sum which he was offered before his death.
  • The Trust delayed Dr L’s ill health retirement application in 2018.
