Decision to award Capita Troubles pension contract criticised SDLP assembly member Mark H Durkan Connla Young UUP assembly member Mike Nesbitt A DECISION to award under-fire service provider Capita a contract to run a Troubles' victims pension scheme has been criticised. Details of the Department of Justice decision to allow Capita to carry out medical assessments comes days after the publication of a damning report. Last week Public Services Ombudsman Margaret Kelly found that too many people have had claims for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) "unfairly rejected". It also found that the Department for Communities and Capita, which carries out PIP asessments, failed to seek and use further evidence in its considerations and that claimants had to challenge decisions, often to appeal "before the correct decision was made".
