The Pensions Ombudsman – competent but not a court – Pensions Barrister
‘The trustees of a pension scheme discover that members have been mistakenly overpaid: perhaps because the trustees misinterpreted the scheme rules, or perhaps because certain provisions of the scheme rules that were assumed to be valid were in fact invalid. The trustees decide to recoup the overpayments by setting them off against members’ instalments of future pension. A member raises a dispute, either as to the amount to be recouped or the rate of deduction.’
