Deductions from Police Injury On Duty Pensions

The request was partially successful.

Dear Devon and Cornwall Constabulary,
With reference to the judgement in the case of Evans and Ashcroft v Chief Constable of South Wales (2018), where it has come to light that many forces may have been deducting too much from police injury pensions since 2010 for those in receipt of certain benefits.

Can you please provide me with the following information?

1. The number of Devon & Cornwall Constabulary Police Pensioners affected by the judgement.
2. If any work has been carried out to conform to the judgement?
3. Have the affected Devon & Cornwall Police pensioners been made aware of the requirement to repay the value of these over deductions by the force?
4. The estimated cost value of the repayments to Devon & Cornwall Constabulary?
5. The anticipated date when these repayments will be made to those affected?

Thank you for giving this matter your attention.

Yours faithfully,

James Godfrey
