News / Pension scheme payouts
NORTHERN isles MP Alistair Carmichael is urging any constituents who held policies with the Equitable Life pension firm who have not put in a claim to get in touch with him.
Mr Carmichael said the first phase of compensation payments had been made and high volumes of payments were now being made, with 10,000 cheques going out in the last week alone.
