These Regulations make provision for the transition from the arrangements for the Scheme set out in the Local Government Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 1987 (“the 1987 Regulations”), and the other Regulations specified in Schedule 1 to these Regulations, to those set out in the 1998 Regulations. They revoke provisions of the 1987 Regulations relating to administration of the Scheme (which are replaced by provisions in Part IV of the 1998 Regulations) for all members of the Scheme (ie pensionable employees, pensioners and those with preserved benefits under the 1987 Regulations) and disapply the other provisions of the 1987 Regulations for those who are members in employment on that date (“active members”). They also provide for the continuation of most provisions of the 1987 Regulations for members who are not then active members and for the corresponding provisions of the 1998 Regulations not to apply to them. SCHEDULE 4 TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS AND SAVINGS 9 1 If any person to whom a relevant benefit is or may become payable would, apart from this paragraph, be placed in a worse position in relation to that benefit than that he would have been in had these Regulations not been made and makes an election under this paragraph, these Regulations shall have effect, in relation to him and to that benefit, as if they had provided for his position to continue without amendment (but see paragraph (4)). 2 An election under sub-paragraph (1) must be made by notice in writing given to the appropriate administering authority before the expiry of the period of six months beginning with the commencement date. 3 In this paragraph– “relevant benefit” means a benefit payable to, or in respect of, a person who before the commencement date– left an employment in which he was an active member (whether or not he has subsequently become an active member again); or died while in such employment; and “benefit” includes a return of contributions and any pension payable to a widow, widower or any dependant by virtue of a surrender. 4 If an election under sub-paragraph (1) is made in relation to a benefit in respect of a person who is an active member, or subsequently becomes an active member again– a the election shall have effect in relation to the benefit only to the extent that it accrues or has accrued by virtue– i of periods of membership before he left the employment referred to in paragraph (3)(a) (or, if he left such an employment more than once, the last time he left before the commencement date); or ii of contributions paid in respect of such periods of membership; and b in determining entitlement to, or the amount of, the benefit to that extent, he shall be treated as if he had never become an active member again at any time after he so left (but without prejudice to the application of this paragraph); and these Regulations shall have effect accordingly.
