Who is “they” exactly?I asked if the annual pension would be backdated to my 60th birthday, but they said no.
Doe anyone know if you can get "backpay" for a preserved pension you didn't know you could claim? I have preserved benefits from public sector employment 1998-2003. I opted not to transfer those benefits to another job when I left. I am now approaching 64 and was researching when to draw down the preserved benefits, etc. It turns out that my "normal pension age" in that previous employment was 60, i.e. I could have started to claim that pension over 3 years ago. I asked if the annual pension would be backdated to my 60th birthday, but they said no. Has anyone had experience of applying for a deferred pension a few years late, so to speak?
I think this is the right approach. When you get a written decision and appeal make it clear that you are making a complaint and that you are seeking a final answer. Only after that can you take it to the FPSO.I will follow up the other poster's suggestion to ask for a written decision and reason, which I may take up with Ombudsman if necessary.
