Alternative Dispute ResolutionEngland, United Kingdom51-200 Employees

The Pensions Ombudsman is an independent statutory body in the United Kingdom charged with examining complaints about how personal and occupational pension schemes are run. It can also consider complaints about the actions and decisions of the Pension Protection Fund and certain Financial Assistance Scheme decisions. Operated under legislation set by Parliament, it is not a regulator, consumer champion, or trade body and aims to be fair and impartial in handling disputes. When it issues a decision, that determination is final and binding on both parties.

Based in London, England, the organisation serves individuals and organisations involved with pension schemes who allege maladministration, such as delays, failures to act, breaches of rules, or misinformation. It sits within the broader Alternative Dispute Resolution landscape, providing a formal mechanism to review and resolve disputes outside courts. In 2022, it established a Pensions Dishonesty Unit to investigate serious breaches of trust and misappropriation by pension scheme trustees. The entity is described as mid-sized, reflecting its operational scope.
