What if I have a complaint?

The Pension Administration Team can resolve most issues relating to your membership of the Scheme. However, there is a formal procedure in place, called the Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure (IDRP), if they’re unable to resolve your complaint and you would like to escalate the issue to the Trustee.

To begin the IDRP, you should contact the Pensions Administration Team for a Formal Complaint Form. A summary of the stages involved and how long it might take is provided below.

You can choose to contact the Trustee about your complaint before starting the IDRP, you can do this here.

The IDRP has two stages:

Stage 1

A sub-committee of the Management and Governance Committee considers all Formal Complaint Forms which are completed and returned to the Trustee Executive Team. The sub-committee will normally give its decision and an explanation in writing within two months. If the sub-committee isn’t able to resolve your complaint within two months, it will let you know. The Trustee may, in its discretion, waive the Stage 1 process and proceed straight to Stage 2.

Stage 2

If you are not satisfied with the sub-committee’s decision, the next step is to refer your complaint to the Trustee within six months of the sub-committee’s decision. You’ll receive details of this option when you receive the sub-committee’s decision.

The Pensions Ombudsman

You have the right to refer your complaint to the Pensions Ombudsman free of charge.

The Pensions Ombudsman deals with complaints and disputes which concern the administration and/or management of occupational and personal pension schemes. Contact with the Pensions Ombudsman about a complaint needs to be made within three years of when the event(s) you are complaining about happened – or, if later, within three years of when you first knew about it (or ought to have known about it). There is discretion for those time limits to be extended.

The Pensions Ombudsman can be contacted at:

10 South Colonnade,
Canary Wharf,
London, E14 4PU
 0800 917 4487
