NOTICE OF FULL CLOSURE OF MPS REINSTATMENT OPTION - 09 MAY 2009
You may recall that the option of MPS reinstatement would close down at the end of 2006.
Since then the Trustees have considered reinstatement of 75 cases on a discretionary basis, the majority of these being referred by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and all demonstrated that there had been an exceptional reason for reinstatement not being achieved prior to 31 December 2006.
The option for MPS reinstatement will close down fully with effect from 1 October 2009. The final date on which a reinstatement cost quotation may be offered will be 30 June 2009, allowing a three month guarantee period. The FSCS and the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) have been notified of the closure arrangements in order to provide sufficient notice to ensure that the small number of
unsettled cases they have are completed prior to 1 October 2009.
There will be an article in the next edition of Pensions Newsline in an effort to ensure that any individuals affected contact their personal pension provider, adviser or the FSCS to seek urgent completion of their reinstatement.
