Would anyone know how long the company to ask (and be entitled to) any monies back if error was on their part?


Thanks

Do you think these rules apply to a Private pension scheme rather than a State pension? Thanks

The guide is useful but I dont think it specifies a maximum period as there is no maximum period. A mistake is a mistake. As the guide says, you are not entitled to profit from a mistake. It doesnt say you can profit from it if happens for longer than x years.

It applies to personal and occupational. Not state.
