  • What Happened
    A guide to Parliamentary Ombudsman report’s findings and recommendations The Report finds the Government guilty of causing the injustices and financial losses suffered. It must pay full compensation, plus damages, must apologise for its actions and must replace the Financial Assistance Scheme with a proper compensation arrangement. The recommendations of the report are as follows: 1. Pensions must be fully restored to all those whose scheme started wind-up since April 1997 2. All other scheme benefits must also be restored – including tax free lump sums, life cover, ill- health cover and survivor benefits 3. Consolatory payments (damages) should be offered, as a tangible recognition of the distress, outrage, inconvenience and uncertainty suffered 4. Government should apologise to scheme trustees for the effects of the maladministration on their ability to perform their duties 5. Government should conduct an urgent review to speed up scheme wind-ups 6. The Financial Assistance Scheme must be fundamentally changed or replaced, since it is causing further injustices 7. Pension language should be clarified and the industry should take care over the language it uses in future. Phrases such as ‘guaranteed’ and ‘fully funded’ should not be used if they will mislead members. 8. Any members who have suffered other losses – such as those who have been forced to sell their homes because they did not get the pensions they were relying on – should claim compensation from the DWP compensation scheme The cost implications Headline costs of these recommendations would be many billions of pounds. At least £5billion. However, pensions are paid over many years and if the pensions are paid out on an ongoing basis, rather than capitalising the sum immediately, the costs should average around £120million a year for 40 years.
