Pension consultant Willis Towers Watson has warned that pension schemes could be forced to top up 100,000 historic pension transfer payments following a High Court ruling.

The Chartered Insurance Institute has joined forces with consultants Aon and Willis Towers Watson to produced a report and guide outlining ways to help more people at the higher end of the Autism Spectrum scale find jobs in areas such as financial services.

Two of the world’s biggest financial businesses are to combine with Aon buying rival Willis Towers Watson for £23bn.

The soaring increase in the number of pension transfers will continue this year, according to the respected global actuary and consultancy firm Willis Towers Watson.
