(b)who had a transfer out under regulation 108 of the 2014 Regulations calculated as at a date before but paid on or after 1st October 2023; or
(c)in respect of whom a transfer payment was made under regulation 110 (bulk transfer (transfer of undertakings, etc) of the 2014 Regulations calculated as at a date before 1st October 2023.
(2) The person’s provisional assumed benefits and a provisional underpin amount are to be calculated in accordance with regulations 4I (statutory underpin: calculation of provisional assumed benefits) and 4J (statutory underpin: calculation of provisional underpin amount) of the Transitional Regulations, respectively.

(5) In both cases, paragraphs (3) and (4), where the recalculated transfer value exceeds the value of the transfer falling within paragraph (1)(a) or (1)(b), as the case may be, the Committee must take reasonable steps to pay the difference to the scheme that received the transfer.
(6) Where the transfer falls within paragraph (1)(c) an actuary appointed by the Committee and an actuary appointed by the trustees or managers of the new scheme must seek to agree whether an additional payment should be made to reflect the value of any of the person’s rights under regulations 4A to 4T of the Transitional Regulations.
(7) Where the actuaries agree that a payment must be made, it should be made without undue delay to the trustees or managers of the new scheme for the benefit of the person.
