Pensions Ombudsman

If you are still unhappy following a decision made through IDRP, you can take your case to the Pensions Ombudsman provided you do so within 3 years from the date of the original decision (or lack of a decision) which you are disputing, or within 3 years of when you first became aware of the problem.

The Ombudsman investigates complaints and settles disputes about pension schemes. However, before making a formal complaint to the Pensions Ombudsman you would normally be expected to have progressed through both the first and second stages of the internal dispute resolution procedure.

The Ombudsman's decision is final and binding for all parties, subject to any appeal made to the High Court on a point of law. For more information or to contact the PO:-
