Left Bloc files complaint with Ombudsman, demands pensioners not repay overpayments from CGA
The Left Bloc (BE) has filed a complaint with the Ombudsman over an error by the Caixa Geral de Aposentações (CGA) that led to 2,937 pensions being overpaid between May and August 2026. The party is requesting that the Ombudsman intervene to stop the CGA from issuing final pension reduction decisions or demanding repayments while the complaint is being analyzed.
Why it mattersIf you are one of the pensioners affected by the CGA calculation error, this ongoing political and legal challenge means your repayment demand may be contested, though the situation remains unresolved and currently demands repayment.
