(a) “occupational pension scheme” means any scheme or arrangement which is comprised in one or more instruments or agreements and which has, or is capable of having, effect in relation to one or more descriptions or categories of employments so as to provide benefits, in the form of pensions or otherwise, payable on termination of service, or on death or retirement, to or in respect of earners with qualifying service in an employment of any such description or category; and

(b) “public service pension scheme” means an occupational pension scheme established by or under an enactment or the Royal prerogative or a Royal charter, being a scheme—

(i) all the particulars of which are set out in, or in a legislative instrument made under, an enactment, Royal warrant or charter, or

(ii) which cannot come into force, or be amended, without the scheme or amendment being approved by a Minister of the Crown or government department,

and includes [F9 any occupational pension scheme established, with the concurrence of the Minister for the Civil Service, by or with the approval of another Minister of the Crown and] any occupational pension scheme prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State and the Minister for the Civil Service jointly as being a scheme which ought in their opinion to be treated as a public service pension scheme for the purposes of this Part of this Act.

[F17 58 Transfer of benefit between schemes: linked qualifying service. E+W+S

(1) In this Act—

(a) “transfer credits” means rights allowed to an earner under the rules of an occupational pension scheme by reference to a transfer to that scheme of his accrued rights from another scheme;

(b) “accrued rights”, in relation to a scheme, includes any transfer credits allowed under that scheme; and

(c) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . F18

and in this subsection “rights” includes rights to benefit and also options to have benefit paid in a particular form or at a particular time.

(2) [F19 Subject to subsections (2A) and (2B) below]for the purposes of this Act, any period of an earner’s service in an employment is linked qualifying service in relation to a later period of service (whether in the same or another employment) if—

[F20 (a) under the rules of a scheme applying to him in the earlier period of service—

(i) there was made a transfer of his accrued rights under that scheme to another scheme applying to him in the later period of service; or

(ii) those rights were secured by a policy of insurance or an annuity contract and were subsequently transferred to another scheme applying to him in the later period of service;][F21 and]

(b) in consequence of [F22 the transfer of his accrued rights to the second scheme], there are (or were) allowed to him transfer credits under the rules of that other scheme,

except that, for any service to be taken into account as linked qualifying service, it must be actual service, no regard being had to any scheme rule which provides for service to be treated, for any purposes of benefit or otherwise, as longer or shorter than it actually is.

[F23 (2A) Only so much of the earlier period as is a period of service in respect of which there accrued under the first scheme any of the rights transferred to the second scheme shall be linked qualifying service in relation to the later period of service.

(2B) As respects any case where the rules of a scheme provide—

(a) that an earner is not entitled to become a member unless he satsfies specified conditions, but

(b) that, if he becomes a member, rights are to accrue to him in respect of periods of service before he satisfied any such conditions,

regulations may provide for any such periods to be treated, in such cases and to such an extent as may be prescribed, as linked qualifying service with later periods of service.]

Preservation of benefit under occupational pension schemes U.K.

[F29 63 Requirements relating to preservation of benefits. E+W+S

(1) The requirements of this Part of this Act relating to preservation of benefit under occupational pension schemes (“the preservation requirements”) are those set out in Part I of Schedule 16 to this Act; and Part II of that Schedule shall have effect for enabling the Secretary of State to make regulations modifying the preservation requirements and generally in relation to the preservation of benefit under occupational pension schemes.

(2) This section shall have effect for securing that occupational pension schemes in force on the appointed day or coming into force thereafter conform with the preservation requirements in so far as conformity can be achieved by the use of powers conferred by this section (in addition to any powers otherwise exercisable) on those concerned with such schemes and on the Occupational Pensions Board.

(3) It is hereby declared that nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section or in Schedule 16 to this Act is to be taken—

(a) to apply with direct effect to any scheme (whether having effect before or after this section comes into force), or to the rights or liabilities of any person in, under or by virtue of a scheme; or

(b) to preclude a scheme from being so framed as to provide benefits on any ampler scale, or (subject to any express provision made in the Schedule) payable at any earlier time or otherwise more favourable to beneficiaries, than is called for by the preservation requirements.

(4) In the case of an occupational pension scheme whose resources are derived as mentioned in [F30 section 40(1) of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975 (in this Act referred to as “the Pensions Act”)], it shall be the responsibility—

(a) of the trustees and managers of the scheme or, in the case of a public service pension scheme, of the Minister, government department or other person or body concerned with its administration, to take such steps as are open to them for bringing the scheme into conformity (if it does not otherwise conform) with the preservation requirements; and

(b) of the Occupational Pensions Board to advise the trustees and managers, or, if it is a public service pension scheme, the Minister, department or others concerned with the scheme as to whether it does or does not (in the Board’s opinion) conform with those requirements and, if the Board are of opinion that the scheme does not conform, to indicate the steps which they consider should be taken with a view to securing conformity;

and the following provisions of this section shall have effect in relation to schemes whose resources are so derived, but not in relation to public service pension schemes.

(5) On an application made to them in respect of an occupational pension scheme by persons competent to make such an application in respect of it, the Occupational Pensions Board shall issue a determination as to whether or not the scheme conforms with the preservation requirements; and the persons competent to make such an application in respect of a scheme are—

(a) the trustees or managers of the scheme;

(b) any person other than the trustees or managers who has power to alter any of the rules of the scheme;

(c) any person who is an employer of persons in service in an employment to which the scheme applies;

(d) any member or prospective member of the scheme;

(e) such other persons as regulations may specify, in relation to any category of schemes into which the scheme falls, as being proper persons to make an application for the purposes of this section in respect of a scheme of that category.

(6) The Board may at any time of their own motion issue, in respect of a scheme which has come to their notice (including in particular a scheme which they are considering with a view to [F31 contracting-out] or one in respect of which an application has been made to them under section 64 of this Act for an order authorising the modification of the scheme, or modifying it), any determination which they could issue in the case of that scheme on an application to them under subsection (5) above.

(7) If the Board determine, in the case of a scheme, that it does not conform with the preservation requirements they shall, either at the time of issuing their determination or as soon thereafter as they think expedient—

(a) by order direct the trustees or managers of the scheme, or any such persons as are referred to in subsection (5)(b) above, to exercise such powers as they possess for modifying the scheme with a view to bringing it into conformity with those requirements (for which purpose the Board shall include in their order such directions as they think appropriate to indicate the modification appearing to them to be called for); or

(b) if there is no person with power to modify the scheme as required by the Board, by order authorise the trustees or managers, or other persons named in the order (who may in particular include such an employer as is specified in subsection (5)(c) above) to make that modification; or

(c) themselves by order modify the scheme with a view to achieving the purposes above-mentioned.

(8) The Board may exercise their powers under subsection (7) above from time to time in relation to any scheme in respect of which they have issued a determination under this section, and may exercise the powers together or separately.

(9) Any modification of a scheme made in pursuance of an order of the Board under subsection (7)(b) or (c) above shall be as effective in law as if it had been made under powers conferred by or under the scheme; and such an order may be made and complied with in relation to a scheme—

(a) notwithstanding any enactment or rule of law, or any rule of the scheme, which would otherwise operate to prevent the modification being made;

(b) without regard to any such enactment, rule of law or rule of the scheme as would otherwise require, or might otherwise be taken to require, the implementation of any procedure, or the obtaining of any consent, with a view to the making of the modification.

(10) An order of the Board under subsection (7)(a) above may require persons to exercise a power retrospectively (whether or not the power could otherwise be so exercised), and an order under subsection (7)(b) or (c) may operate retrospectively; and in this subsection “restrospectively” means with effect from a date before that on which the power is exercised or, as the case may be, the order is made, not being in either case a date earlier than the appointed day.

(11) At any time when the Board are concerned with an occupational pension scheme for the purposes of issuing a determination under this section, they may include a determination (whether or not applied for) as to any of the particular matters specified in Part I of Schedule 16 to this Act (including that Part as modified by regulations under Part II of that Schedule).

(12) For the purpose of arriving at a determination under this section in respect of a scheme the Board may, if they think it expedient having regard—

(a) to the structure and character of the scheme; and

(b) to any anomalous or impractical consequences that may be expected to follow from its modification to achieve conformity with any particular provision of Part I of Schedule 16 to this Act (including that Part as modified under Part II of that Schedule),

disregard that provision in relation to the scheme, or direct that it be applied with such modification as may be specified in their determination.

[F32 (13) This section applies to persons employed by or under the Crown in like manner as if such persons were employed by a private person.]]

Modification and winding-up of schemes U.K.

[F33 64 Modification and winding-up by order of Occupational Pensions Board. E+W+S

(1) On an application made to them in respect of an occupational pension scheme by persons competent to make such an application in respect of it the Occupational Pensions Board may make an order—

(a) authorising the modification of the scheme with a view to achieving any one or more of the purposes specified in subsection (3) below;

(b) modifying the scheme with a view to achieving any one or more of those purposes; or

(c) directing or authorising the scheme to be wound up on grounds specified in subsection (4) below.

[F34 (1A) The Board shall also have power on such an application to make an order—

(a) authorising the modification of the scheme with a view to achieving any one or more of such other purposes as may be prescribed; or

(b) modifying the scheme with a view to achieving any one or more of those purposes.]

(2) Nothing in this section applies to public service pension schemes.

(3) The purposes referred to in subsection (1)(a) and (b) above are those of enabling the scheme—

(a) to be so treated that an employment to which it applies may be [F35 contracted-out employment]by reference to it;

(b) to qualify for the approval of the Inland Revenue for the purposes of Chapter II of Part II of the M1 Finance Act 1970 or to provide benefits enhanced up to the limits suitable in a scheme for which such approval is sought;

(c) to provide for the transfer of accrued rights to another scheme [F36 (whether another occupational pension scheme or a personal pension scheme)]with a view to the acquisition, for those whose rights are transferred, of rights under the other scheme in connection with change of employment or otherwise, and for the allowance of transfer credits;

(d) to comply with the preservation requirements (without prejudice, however, to anything in section 63(5) to (12) of this Act);

[F37 (dd) to comply with the equal access requirements specified in section 53 of the Pensions Act but without prejudice to anything in section 56 of that Act;]

(e) to provide for accrued entitlement to benefit (whether in payment or not), so far as payable out of the resources of the scheme, to be surrendered by beneficiaries (at their option and not otherwise, so long as the scheme remains in force and is not being, or to be, wound up) in exchange for other rights assured by means of one or more policies of insurance or annuity contracts, or by other means;

(f) to qualify under section 69 of this Act or to have included in, or removed from, it provisions designed to avoid the effect of the rules of law relating to perpetuities,

[F38 (g) to comply with the voluntary contributions requirements specified in subsection (1) of section 12 of the Social Security Act 1986, but without prejudice to anything in subsections (2) to (10) of that section,]

or of enabling the trustees or managers of the scheme, or others concerned with, or having rights under, it to enter into alternative arrangements having regard to any provision of this Act [F39 or the Pensions Act], or of any other Act (passed or to be passed) amending or replacing any such provision, or making provision for similar purposes.

[F40 (3) The purposes referred to in subsection (1)(a) and (b) above are those of enabling the scheme—

(c) to provide for the transfer of accrued rights to another scheme [F41 (whether another occupational pension scheme or a personal pension scheme)]with a view to acquisition, for those whose rights are transferred, of rights under the other scheme in connection with change of employment or otherwise, and for the allowance of transfer credits;

(f) to qualify under section 69 of this Act or to have included in, or removed from, it provisions designed to avoid the effect of the rules of law relating to perpetuities,

or of enabling the trustees or managers of the scheme or others concerned with, or having rights under, it to enter into alternative arrangements, having regard to any provision of this Act [F42 or the Pensions Act], or of any other Act (passed or to be passed) amending or replacing any such provision, or making provision for similar purposes.]

(4) The grounds on which the Board may direct or authorise a scheme to be wound up, on an application made to them in that behalf under subsection (1) above, are that, having regard to any provision of this Act [F42 or the Pensions Act], or to any other Act (passed or to be passed) amending or replacing any such provision or making provision for similar purposes, the scheme ought to be replaced (in whole or in part) by a different scheme, or is no longer required.

(5) In relation to an occupational pension scheme, the persons competent to make an application to the Board under this section are—

(a) the trustees or managers of the scheme;

(b) any person other than the trustees or managers who has power to alter any of the rules of the scheme;

(c) any person who is an employer of persons in service in an employment to which the scheme applies; and

(d) such other persons as regulations may specify, in relation to any category of schemes into which the scheme falls, as being proper persons to make an application for the purposes of this section in respect of a scheme of that category.

(6) The Board shall not entertain an application for an order by them under this section unless they are satisfied that the purposes of the application (whether the modification or the winding-up of the scheme in question)—

(a) cannot be achieved otherwise than by means of such an order; or

(b) can only be achieved in accordance with a procedure which is liable to be unduly complex or protracted or involves the obtaining of consents which cannot be obtained, or can only be obtained with undue delay or difficulty;

but subject to this the Board may on such an application make (with the consent of the applicants) any one or more such orders as are specified in subsection (1) above and may exercise any of the powers of this section from time to time; and the extent of their powers under this section is not limited, in relation to any purposes for which they are exercisable, to the minimum necessary to achieve those purposes.

(7) The Board shall not make an order under this section (whether related to the modification or to the winding-up of a scheme) unless they are satisfied that it is reasonable in all the circumstances to make it; and they shall not make any such order as would or might in their opinion result in any existing or prospective entitlement of a member of the scheme, in respect of a period of service before the coming into force of the order or of any modification which the order authorises, being diminished or curtailed without his consent, unless they are satisfied that it is in the interests of the generality of members that the order should be made.

(8) In considering whether or not to make an order, the Board shall have regard to the structure and character of the scheme and the benefits provided by it, to the provisions of this Act [F39 or the Pensions Act]and Chapter II of Part II of the M2 Finance Act 1970, and generally to all the circumstances.

(9) An order of the Board under this section—

(a) if it is an order authorising the modification of a scheme, shall be framed so as to confer the power of modification on such persons as the Board think proper (including persons who were not parties to any application made to the Board) and shall include directions indicating the modifications which they consider to be called for;

(b) if it is an order authorising a scheme to be wound up, shall include directions with respect to the manner and timing of the winding-up;

and any reference in this subsection to directions is to such directions as the Board think appropriate having regard to the purposes of the order.

(10) Subsection (9) of section 63 of this Act shall apply with the necessary modifications in relation to an order of the Board under this section as it applies in relation to an order of theirs under subsection (7)(b) or (c) of that section, references in subsection (9) to modification being construed for this purpose as including references to winding-up; and—

(a) an order authorising modification may enable those exercising any power conferred by the order to exercise it retrospectively (whether or not the power could otherwise be so exercised); and

(b) an order modifying a scheme may modify it retrospectively;

[F59 69 Rule against perpetuities. U.K.

(1) At any time when [F60 a personal or occupational]pension scheme qualifies under this section it shall be exempt from the operation of any rules of law relating to perpetuities which would otherwise invalidate, or might be taken to invalidate, any of the trusts of the scheme or any disposition made under it or for its purposes (whether trusts created, or dispositions made, before or after the scheme first qualified under this section).

(2) A public service pension scheme qualifies under this section at all times; and otherwise a scheme qualifies at any time when—

(a) it is [F61 contracted-out][F62 or an appropriate scheme under Part I of the Social Security Act 1986]in relation to any employment; or

(b) it satisfies the requirements of regulations under this subsection.

(3) Regulations under subsection (2) above may require a scheme—

(a) to contain provisions in any prescribed form, or to any prescribed effect; or

(b) to have, or to be such that it may be expected to qualify for, tax-exemption or tax-approval;

and the regulations may be so framed that, in prescribed circumstances, the requirements can be treated as satisfied if application has been duly made to the Inland Revenue with a view to obtaining tax-approval for the scheme.

(4) In subsection (3) above, “tax-exemption” and “tax-approval” mean respectively exemption from tax and approval of the Inland Revenue in either case under any such provision of the Income Tax Acts as may be prescribed by regulations.

(5) Regulations may include provision whereby a scheme [F62 which ceases—

(a) if it is an occupational pension scheme, to be contracted-out; or

(b) if it is a personal pension scheme, to be an appropriate scheme,

or]ceases to satisfy the requirements of regulations under subsection (2) above, may nevertheless be treated as continuing to qualify under this section for a further period of 2 years from the cesser, or for such longer period as the Occupational Pensions Board consider to be reasonable in the case of a particular scheme.

(6) As respects the operation of the rules of law referred to in subsection (1) above—

(a) this section does not validate with retrospective effect any trusts created or dispositions made under or for the purpose of a scheme if (taking into account, where applicable, section 3(1) of the M4 Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 1964 (“wait and see”) or the corresponding Northern Ireland enactment) those trusts or dispositions were already required to be treated as void under the rules before the scheme qualified under this section; and

(b) if a scheme ceases to qualify, trusts so created and dispositions so made shall then again be subject to the rules as if the scheme had never qualified (but without prejudice to any rights which vested during the period of qualification).

(7) There shall cease to have effect—

(a) the M5 Superannuation and other Trust Funds (Validation) Act 1927 (power to register superannuation schemes, with consequent exemption from the rule against perpetuities), except section 9 and section 11 so far as it provides for citation and extends section 9 to Northern Ireland; and

(b) the corresponding Northern Ireland enactment, that is to say the M6 Superannuation and other Trust Funds (Validation) Act (Northern Ireland) 1928;

but regulations may provide, in relation to a scheme whose fund was registered under either Act immediately before its repeal took effect, for the scheme to retain the benefit of the Act, subject to prescribed conditions and either indefinitely or for a prescribed period.

(8) The said Acts of 1927 and 1928 shall each, until its repeal by subsection (7) above, have effect with the following modifications—

(a) no new application shall be made under section 3 of the Act for the registration of any fund (without prejudice to the effectiveness of any application previously made or pending); and

(b) the registration of a fund may be cancelled notwithstanding that the fund has not been wound up, if the trustees apply in writing to the registrar stating that they desire its cancellation.]

(b) “long service benefit” means the benefits which will be payable under the scheme, in accordance with legal obligation, to or in respect of a member of the scheme on the assumption that he remains in relevant employment [F127 , and continues to render service which qualifies him for benefits,]until he attains normal pension age;

and in paragraph (b) above “benefits” means retirement benefit for the member himself at normal pension age or benefit for [F128 the member’s wife or husband, widow or widower], or dependants, or others, on his attaining that age or his death thereafter, or both such descriptions of benefit.

3 (1) “Pensionable service”, in relation to a scheme and a member of it, means service in relevant employment which qualifies the member (on the assumption that it continues for the appropriate period) for long service benefit under the scheme, including service before the appointed day.

(2) There shall be taken into account as pensionable service only actual service; that is to say—

(a) service notionally attributable for any purposes of the scheme is not to be regarded as pensionable service; and

(b) no account is to be taken of scheme rules by which a period of service can be treated for any purpose as being longer or shorter than it actually is.

4 (1) In relation to a scheme and a member’s pensionable service under it, “normal pension age” is to be construed as follows.

(2) Where the scheme provides for the member only [F129 a guaranteed minimum pension], “normal pension age” means the earliest age at which the member is entitled to receive [F129 the guaranteed minimum pension]on retirement from relevant employment.

(3) In any other case, “normal pension age” means the earliest age at which the member is entitled to receive benefits (other than [F129 a guaranteed minimum pension]) on his retirement from such employment.

(4) For the purposes of this paragraph there is to be disregarded any scheme rule making special provision as to early retirement on grounds of ill-health or otherwise.

(b) by reference to previous service of his (whether or not pensionable service); or

(c) in such other circumstances as may be prescribed,

including under paragraph (b) above any transfer credits.

(2) “Purchased credits” means supplementary credits for which, under the rules of the scheme, a member may or must make payment in whole or in part (whether by means of additional contributions, or of deduction from benefit, or otherwise, and whether separately for each credit or by one or more payments for one or more credits).

(a) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . F130

(b) he has at least [F131 2]years’ qualifying service, [F132 or

(c) a transfer payment in respect of his rights under a personal pension scheme has been made to the scheme,]

he is entitled to benefit (calculated in accordance with the following provisions of this Schedule and there referred to as “short service benefit”), consisting of or comprising benefit of any description which would have been payable under the scheme as long service benefit, whether for himself or for others.

(2) Subject to the following sub-paragraph, short service benefit must be made payable as from normal pension age or, if in the member’s case that age is earlier than 60, then from the age of 60.

(3) Short service benefit payable on or in respect of the member’s death after normal pension age must be made payable as from his death or within such time thereafter as long service benefit payable on or in respect of his death would be payable.

(4) In applying sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) above, no regard is to be had to the operation of any scheme rule, taking effect at any time after termination of the member’s pensionable service, as to what is normal pension age under the scheme.

(5) A scheme must not provide for payment of short service benefit in the form of a lump sum at any time before normal pension age, except in such circumstances as may be prescribed.

No discrimination between short service and long service beneficiaries E+W+S

8 (1) A scheme must not contain any rule which results, or can result, in a member being treated less favourably for any purpose relating to short service benefit than he is, or is entitled to be, treated for the corresponding purpose relating to long service benefit.

(2) The above does not apply to any rule in its application to members whose pensionable service terminated before the rule came into force, except a rule made after the termination of a member’s pensionable service and resulting, or capable of resulting, for him in any treatment less favourable than that to which he would have been entitled but for the rule; nor does it apply to a rule merely conferring a discretion on the scheme’s trustees or managers, or others, so long as it is not a rule requiring the discretion to be exercised in any discriminatory manner against members in respect of their short service benefit.

Form of short service benefit and its alternatives E+W+S

9 (1) Subject to the following sub-paragraph, a member’s short service benefit must either be payable (as mentioned in paragraph 6(2) above) directly out of the resources of the scheme or be assured to him by such means as may be prescribed.

(2) Subject to the following sub-paragraphs, a scheme may, instead of providing short service benefit, provide—

[F135 (a) for the member’s accrued rights to be transferred to another occupational pension scheme with a view to acquiring transfer credits for the member under the other scheme, or to a personal pension scheme or a self-employed pension arrangement with a view to acquiring rights for the member under the rules of the scheme or arrangement; or]

(b) for such alternatives to short service benefit as may be prescribed.

[F136 (2A) The option conferred by sub-paragraph (2)(a) above is additional to any obligation imposed by Part II of Schedule 1A to the Social Security Pensions Act 1975.]

(3) Either of the alternatives specified in sub-paragraph (2)(a) and (b) above may be by way of complete or partial substitute for short service benefit, but (except in such cases as may be prescribed) only with the member’s consent.

(4) An alternative prescribed under sub-paragraph (2)(b) above must not include any payment by way of return of contributions, except in respect of—

(a) a period of service before the appointed day; or

(b) a period of service of less than 5 years after that day if (and only if) there has been such a payment in respect of a period of service before that day.

Computation of benefit E+W+S

10 (1) A scheme must provide for short service benefit to be computed on the same basis as long service benefit.

(2) For this purpose, no account is to be taken of any rule making it (directly or indirectly) a condition of entitlement to benefit that pensionable service shall have been of any minimum duration.

(3) This paragraph does not apply to so much of any benefit as—

(a) accrues at a higher rate, or otherwise more favourably, in the case of members with a period of pensionable service of some specified minimum length, or of those remaining in pensionable service up to some specified minimum age; or

(b) is of an amount, or at a rate, unrelated to length of pensionable service or to the number or amount of contributions paid by or for the member;

nor does it apply to any category of schemes or members, or description of benefit, excluded from this paragraph by regulations.

11 So far as any short service benefit is not required to be computed in accordance with paragraph 10 above, it must be computed on the basis of uniform accrual, bearing the same proportion to long service benefit at the time when pensionable service is terminated as the period of that service bears to the period from the beginning of that service to the time when the member would attain normal pension age or such lower age as may be prescribed.

12 (1) Where long service benefit is related to a member’s earnings at, or in a specified period before, the time when he attains normal pension age, short service benefit must be related, in a corresponding manner, to his earnings at, or in the same period before, the time when his pensionable service is terminated.

(2) A scheme must comply with any regulations relating to the basis of computation of short service benefit, including regulations providing for the avoidance of fractional amounts and otherwise to facilitate computation.

Credits E+W+S

13 (1) If a scheme provides for long service benefit to include supplementary credits, it must provide for such credits to be included in short service benefit, and provide for all credits to be so included, subject to the following sub-paragraphs.

(2) Where purchased credits have not been paid for in full at or before termination of pensionable service—

(a) if they were to be paid for by a fixed amount, the benefit must include so much of the whole of the credits as bears the same proportion to them as the amount which the member has paid bears to the full amount payable by him;

(b) if they were to be paid for otherwise than by a fixed amount, the benefit must include such part of the credits as bears the same proportion to the whole as the period between the time when the first payment became due and the termination of the member’s pensionable service bears to the whole period over which payment was to be made.

(3) If the benefit includes bonus credits, or credits for which payment is to be made by deduction from that or another benefit, the credits to be included in the benefit and (where applicable) the amount of the deduction must be computed on the basis of the following assumptions—

(a) that the credits accrue in full only to a member remaining in pensionable service until normal pension age;

(b) that entitlement to any credit, and also the amount of any relevant deduction, accrues at a uniform rate from the time when the credit was awarded up to the time of his attaining that age.

(4) Where any such deduction from benefit as is referred to in sub-paragraph (3) above is a percentage of benefit, the percentage must be the same for short service as for long service benefit.

(5) A scheme must comply with any regulations made with respect to the manner in which supplementary credits are to be included in short service benefit, including regulations providing for the avoidance of fractional amounts and otherwise to facilitate computation.

Pension-increases E+W+S

14 (1) A scheme which by its rules provides for increases of long service benefit from time to time (whether by way of upwards re-valuation or otherwise) must provide for corresponding increases of short service benefit in the case of members whose pensionable service terminates at any time after the coming into force of any such rule.

(2) Where provision to this effect is made in such a way as to involve the exercise of a discretion in relation to increase of long service benefit, a corresponding discretion must be conferred in relation to short service benefit.

(3) If an increase of long service benefit is to take effect at a specified time after termination of service, the corresponding increase of short service benefit must take effect at the same time after the time when short service benefit becomes payable.

(4) Where provision is made for increase of long service benefit otherwise than at a fixed rate, short service benefit may nevertheless be subject to increase at a fixed rate, so long as the rate is not less than 3 per cent. a year compound.

Assignment, surrender and commutation of benefit E+W+S

15 (1) Except as provided by this paragraph, a scheme must contain rules preventing assignment of short service benefit, and must not enable such benefit to be surrendered or commuted.

[F137 (1A) In sub-paragraph (1) above, the references to assignment, surrender and commutation of short service benefit do not include references to any assignment, surrender or commutation of a policy of insurance or annuity contract in accordance with conditions prescribed by regulations under section 52C(4)(b) or (c) of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975 (cases where an occupational pension scheme’s liability to provide benefit is discharged).]

(2) Provisions enabling assignment are permissible (whether assignment before or after the benefit comes into payment) if it is assignment in favour of the [F138 widow or widower or a dependant of the member].

(3) Provisions enabling surrender (at the option of the member) are permissible where it is—

(a) to provide benefit for the [F138 widow or widower or a dependant of the member];

[F139 (b) to acquire for the member transfer credits under the rules of another occupational pension scheme or rights under the rules of a personal pension scheme or a self-employed pension arrangement;]

(c) to acquire for the member entitlement to further benefits under the same scheme, relating both to a period of pensionable service previously terminated and also to a subsequent period of service in relevant employment.

(4) Provision may be made for a member’s benefit to be commuted, but only—

(a) in a case where he opts (at any time) to commute at or after normal pension age; or

(b) in exceptional circumstances of serious ill-health; or

(c) in such other circumstances as may be prescribed;

and where a scheme provides benefit for a member’s [F140 widow or widower] or dependant, it may provide for commutation by the beneficiary in such circumstances as may be prescribed.

(5) In respect of any of the benefits or rights alternative to short service benefit provided in accordance with paragraph 9(2) above, this paragraph shall apply with such modifications as may be prescribed.

(6) In the application of this paragraph to Scotland, for reference to assignment there shall be substituted references to assignation.

Forfeiture, etc. E+W+S

16 (1) Except so far as permitted by this paragraph, and subject to paragraph 17 below; a scheme must not contain any provision for forfeiture of short service benefit.

(2) Provision may be made for forfeiture of the whole or part of any short service benefit by reference to an event occurring after the benefit becomes payable, but only an event by reference to which long service benefit would be forfeited; and such a provision must not be in terms which in the opinion of the Occupational Pensions Board appear to discriminate against members entitled to short service benefit.

(3) Provision may be made for forfeiture by reference to—

(a) the assignment or attempted assignment or, in Scotland, the assignation or attempted assignation of the benefit contrary to the provisions of the scheme;

(b) the member’s bankruptcy or, in the case of benefit for a [F141 widow or widower] or dependant of the member, the beneficiary’s bancruptcy;

and in this case forfeiture may be by reference to an event occurring either before or after the benefit would otherwise be payable, so long as the like provision is made in relation to long service benefit.

(4) Provision for forfeiture may be made—

(a) in a public service pension scheme, by reference to the member being convicted of an offence—

(i) committed by him before the benefit becomes payable and in connection with relevant employment, and

(ii) certified by a Minister of the Crown either to have been gravely injurious to the State or to be liable to lead to serious loss of confidence in the public service;

(b) in any case, by reference to the member having been convicted of any offence committed before the benefit becomes payable, being—

(i) an offence of treason, or

(ii) one or more offences under [F142 the Official Secrets Act 1911 to 1989]for which the member has been sentenced on the same occasion to a term of imprisonment of, or to two or more consecutive terms amounting in the aggregate to, at least 10 years.

(a) failure by him or any other person to make a claim for the benefit or for any payment due as benefit; or

(b) failure by him or any other person, at any time after termination of relevant employment, to give any notice, or comply with any formality, required by the scheme as a condition of entitlement.

(2) Sub-paragraph (1)(a) above is not to prevent reliance on any enactment relating to the limitation of action; and in cases of failure to claim, the scheme may provide for the right to receive any payment to be forfeited in the event of its not being claimed within 6 years of the date on which it became due.

Textual Amendments

F143 Words substituted (1.10.1989) by Social Security Act 1989 (c. 24) Sch. 6, para. 4(d).

18 (1) A scheme must contain no rule enabling a member’s employer to exercise any description of charge or lien on, or set-off against, short service benefit, to the extent that it includes transfer credits; but a charge or lien on, or set-off against, a member’s short service benefit is permissible (insofar as it does not include transfer credits) for the purpose of enabling the employer to obtain the discharge by the member of some monetary obligation due to the employer and arising out of a criminal, negligent or fraudulent act or omission by the member.

(2) No rule is to permit the employer to recover from, or retain out of, the resources of the scheme any sum in respect of a monetary or other obligation due to him from any member, except an obligation arising as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1); and rules permitting such recovery or retainer must so provide that—

(a) in respect of any such obligation, recovery or retainer is limited to the actuarial value of the member’s actual or prospective benefits at that time, or the amount of the obligation, whichever is the less (subject to any different agreement in writing between the employer and the member); and

(b) the member is entitled to a certificate showing the amount retained or recovered and its effect on his benefits or prospective benefits; and

(c) in the event of any dispute as to the amount to be retained or recovered, the employer is not entitled to enforce the charge, lien or set-off except after the obligation has become enforceable under an order of a competent court or the award of an arbitrator or in Scotland an arbiter to be appointed (failing agreement between the parties) by the sheriff.

19 In respect of any of the benefits or rights alternative to short service benefit provided in accordance with paragraph 9(2) above, paragraphs 16 to 18 shall apply with such modifications as may be prescribed.

Part II E+W+S Supplementary Regulations

20 Regulations may, in respect of any specified provision contained in Part I of this Schedule, provide that a scheme is not to be treated as conforming with the preservation requirements unless it contains express rules to the effect (but not necessarily in the words) of that provision.

21 Regulations may modify Part I of this Schedule in relation to schemes with any overseas element, that is to say, schemes established, or relating to employment, or with parties domiciled, resident or carrying on business, in any part of the world outside the United Kingdom, or otherwise not confined in their operation to the United Kingdom.
