If you handle claims for redress for unsuitable defined benefit pension transfers you will be aware of FCA’s announcement at:
This announcement is necessitated by changes to the way that the Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation measure will be calculated from February 2030.
The announcement points out that, as a consequence, consumers may not have been put back in the position that they should have been if their redress was calculated in accordance with FCA Guidance FG17/9. That guidance needs to be changed and when the change is announced it may be retrospective even – if we have understood correctly what FCA have said – for cases already settled on a “full and final settlement” basis.
