    So sorry to be a pain, I have now had a response off the link who told me in the first instance I need to complain to my pension scheme administrator. Who is the administrator, the former trust I worked for or the NHSBSA (sorry to appear stupid, but I emailed the NHSBSA for clarification & they just come back with link upon link without answering the question asked!). TIA
    You're not being a pain at all, so don't worry about that. 

    Happy to send you a suggested draft letter via Private Message if you'd like me to (and if @Silvertabby is around and being her usual helpful and well-informed self, I'll ask her to have a look first - she has loads of experience with public sector scheme, whereas most of mine is in the private sector). Do let me know if so.

    Happy to help if I can, but NHS pensions and the LGPS - despite both being public sector - have many differences.  Complaints procedures should be very similar, though.

    So sorry to have not responded, I find life a little overwhelming at times. I am so grateful to those that have offered help. Becky xx

    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.
