Internal dispute resolution procedure (IDRP) - complaints and disputes
Over the course of a Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) member's employment and even after they have left, certain decisions are made that can affect the member’s benefits. The law provides the member with the opportunity to challenge decisions that they disagree with. Within the LGPS we have a formal internal dispute resolution procedure (IDRP) to enable this to happen.
Below you will find the operational guide and example letters together with the members' guide.
