What is the British Steel Pension Scandal?

As the BSPS was winding down at the end of 2017, steelworkers faced a critical decision regarding their pension futures. Their choices involved either transferring to the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) with the new but less beneficial BSPS2 scheme or moving their pension to a personal pension scheme.

Many people, following negligent advice from financial advisers, chose the second option. This choice turned out to be wrong for most because they lost the guaranteed benefits that are common in defined benefit plans.

When will I get compensation for my mis-sold pension with British Steel?

For lots of British Steel workers, this is an urgent question. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is in charge of the process, which includes looking at claims and possibly starting a compensation plan to make it easier for those affected to get compensated.

• The timeline for compensation is influenced by factors such as:
• The complexity of individual claims
• The overall number of claim

Efforts to speed up this process are ongoing, with the FCA actively working to ensure those impacted by mis-sold pensions are fairly compensated.

How do I claim my mis-sold British Steel Pension?

The claims process can seem overwhelming, especially for those already facing the stress of pension mis-selling. Those advised by firms no longer in operation might turn to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), while others may claim directly from their financial advisers.

Speaking with a claims management company or specialist solicitors can provide vital support and guidance. These experts are well-versed in the mis-sold pension claims and can offer the expertise needed to navigate the claims process effectively.
