Could You Make A Claim On A Transfer Delay?
If you have experienced delays in transferring your defined benefit pension and lost money as a result, you may have a claim.
You could be owed compensation if you:
- Transferred your defined benefit pension
- Aren’t an experienced investor
- Suffered losses as a result of delays in the pension transfer
- The return on your investment fell as a result of delays
- You were guaranteed a return on investment by financial advisers
If any of the above apply to you, it doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed compensation, but you may still be able to make a claim.
That’s where we can help you. Our experienced case handlers are always happy to hear a pension story and will explore what options are available to you.

What Is A Transfer Delay In Pensions?
A transfer delay happens when someone has chosen to transfer their defined benefit pension, but suffers a financial loss as a result of a delay in the transfer of their pension.
“Mrs F” is an example case of a transfer delay. Mrs F decided to transfer benefits from her pension scheme on the advice of financial advisers.
Mrs F’s advisers requested a cash equivalent transfer value (CETV), which helps inform both the adviser and the client, Mrs F, about how lucrative her defined benefit pension transfer would be.
However, because of various delays, the CETV was recalculated. Mrs F was charged a fee for this and the CETV was reduced – lowering the value of the transfer initially presented to Mrs F.
In the end, because of the delay, Mrs F estimated her losses to be an eye-watering £87,000.
What Is A Defined Benefit Pension Transfer?
Defined benefit pension transfer, also known as final salary pension transfers, are when people decide to invest their pensions into other services or products on the proviso that they’ll see a handsome return on their investment.
Sadly, this isn’t always the case. Due to mis-leading or negligent information and advice from financial advisers, many people end up transferring their pension and losing money.
