(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

5
(1) “Supplementary credits”, in relation to a scheme and a member’s entitlement to its benefits, means any increase of benefit or additional benefit to which the member may become entitled—

No discrimination between short service and long service beneficiaries

(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.

By virtue of reg. 4(6) of S.I. 1987/1116, “self-employed pension arrangement” in para. 9(2)(a) means the same as in reg. 2D of S.I. 1985/1931 (Transfer Values Regulations).
(b) for such alternatives to short service benefit as may be prescribed.
(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.
Para. 9(2A) inserted by Social Security Act 1985 (c. 53), Sch. 5 para. 3, w.e.f. 1.1.86
(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

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

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

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

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.
(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).
Para. 15(1A) inserted by Social Security Act 1985 (c. 53), Sch. 5 para. 4, w.e.f. 1.1.86
(2) Provisions enabling assignment are permissible (whether assignment before or after the benefit comes into payment) if it is assignment in favour of the widow or widower or a dependant of the member.
Words substituted (1.10.1989) by Social Security Act 1989 (c. 24) Sch. 6, para. 4(b).
(3) Provisions enabling surrender (at the option of the member) are permissible where it is—
(a) to provide benefit for the widow or widower or a dependant of the member;
(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;
Para. 15(3)(b) substituted (27.6.1990) by virtue of reg. 7(4) of S.I. 1990/1141.
By virtue of reg. 4(6) of S.I. 1987/1116, “self-employed pension arrangement” in para. 15(3)(b) means the same as in reg. 2D of S.I. 1985/1931 (Transfer Values Regulations).
(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 widow or widoweror dependant, it may provide for commutation of that benefitin such circumstances as may be prescribed.

Words substituted (28.2.1991) by Social Security Act 1990 (c. 27), Sch. 4, para. 5(3).
(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.

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 widow or widower or dependant of the member, the beneficiary’s bancruptcy;
Words substituted (1.10.89) by Social Security Act 1989 (c. 24) Sch. 6, para. 4(c).
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 the Official Secrets Act 1911 to 1989for 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.
Words substituted (1.3.90) by Official Secrets Act 1989 (c. 6), Sch. 1, para. 1(d).

17
(1) No rule must operate so as to deprive a person of short service benefit (whether a member himself, or a member’s widow or widower or dependant) by reference to—
(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 pensionable service, to give any notice, or comply with any formality, required by the scheme as a condition of entitlement.
Words substituted (28.2.1991) by Social Security Act 1990 (c. 27), Sch. 4, para. 5(4)(b).
Words substituted (1.10.1989) by Social Security Act 1989 (c. 24) Sch. 6, para. 4(d).
(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.

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.
