Complaints and Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure

Think something isn’t right about your pension or unhappy about a decision? Always contact us to discuss it. Most issues can be resolved informally which is usually the quickest solution.

Send us an email pensions@wypf.org.uk making sure you tell us who you are or call us on 01274 434999 and we’ll do our best to help you.

If we can’t resolve your complaint you can ask for it to be looked at again under the formal complaint procedure called the Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure (IDRP).

There are two stages to IDRP, with many being resolved at the first stage. For more information about IDRP please read our guide which is available here.
