Determinations

Appealing against a decision

Any determination, whether made by the determinations panel or a Pensions Regulator staff member, can be appealed. A directly affected party has 28 days from the date of notification of the decision to make an appeal. An appeal is made to the Pensions Regulator tribunal and is called a 'reference'.

During the 28 days the regulator is not allowed to use the power decided at the determination except where it is a power that can have immediate effect, for instance one that is needed because there is an immediate risk to the interests of the members or the assets of the scheme.
