C1Pt. 4 Ch. 4 applied (31.5.1994) by S.I. 1994/1432, art. 6(4)
(1)A member may exercise the option conferred by subsection (1) of section 91 in different ways in relation to different portions of his cash equivalent, but a member who exercises that option must do so—
(a)in relation to the whole of his cash equivalent; or
(b)if subsection (2) applies, in relation to the whole of the balance mentioned in subsection (3).
(2)This subsection applies where—
(a)the trustees or managers—
(i)of an occupational pension scheme which is not a contracted-out scheme, or
(ii)of a personal pension scheme which is not an appropriate scheme, or
(iii)of a self-employed pension arrangement,
are able or willing to accept a transfer payment only in respect of a member’s rights other than his accrued rights to guaranteed minimum pensions or his protected rights; and
(b)the member has not required the trustees or managers of the scheme from which he is being transferred to use the portion of his cash equivalent which represents those accrued or protected rights in any of the ways specified in subsection (2) or, as the case may be, subsection (3) of section 91.
(3)Where subsection (2) applies this section and sections 90, 91 and 93 are to be construed as conferring on the member an option only in respect of the balance of the cash equivalent to which the member would otherwise be entitled, after deduction of an amount sufficient for the trustees or managers of the scheme from which he is being transferred to meet their liability—
(a)in the case of a transfer from an occupational pension scheme, in respect of the member’s and the member’s widow’s or, as the case may be, widower’s guaranteed minimum pensions or the member’s protected rights; and
(b)in the case of a transfer from a personal pension scheme, of the member’s protected rights.
