Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

Mrs S’ complaint is upheld and, to put matters right, the Trustee shall carry out the instructions detailed in the section “Directions”.

Complaint summary

Mrs S complained that she is entitled to receive a “State Scheme Supplement” (SSS) from the Scheme until she becomes eligible to receive her State Pension.

In contrast, the Scheme’s administrator (Aon) has informed Mrs S that she will only be paid the SSS up to the age of 65, which is before her State Pension becomes payable.
