The role of the Pensions Ombudsman’s office is to investigate complaints of injustice suffered through maladministration in an occupational or personal pension scheme and to determine disputes of fact or law. The office now also investigates matters in connection with the Pension Protection Fund and Financial Assistance Scheme.

Legal Investigators are expected to deal with the more complex complaints in a timely, proportionate and effective manner. To identify where further information is needed, obtain relevant details, analyse the available evidence and make decisions as to how a case should be handled. This may mean communicating their own conclusion to the parties concerned and ensuring an outcome that is acceptable to all. Or, alternatively, recommending a decision to the Pensions Ombudsman, or Deputy Pensions Ombudsman, and drafting formal determinations. Legal Investigators may be required to instruct Counsel.

Legal Investigators are required to provide legal support to colleagues on legal issues arising on cases being investigated by other caseworkers.

The Legal Investigator plays a central role in ensuring the office as a whole is aware of legal developments which may have an impact on the way the Office deals with cases; akin to acting in a professional support capacity.
