PART 8Payment of benefits

CHAPTER 4Continuing entitlement to benefit

Evidence of continuing entitlement to benefit169

1

Where a benefit is being paid to a person (P), the scheme manager may at any time require that evidence be provided, by such date as the scheme manager may specify, to establish—

a

the identity of P; and

b

P’s continuing entitlement to the benefit.

2

If the evidence is not provided by the date specified, the scheme manager may withhold the whole or any part of the benefit.

3

If a benefit ceases to be payable because P ceases to meet the incapacity condition or ceases to meet the total incapacity condition, the power in paragraph (1)(b) may be exercised so as to require P to provide evidence that there has been no such cessation.
