89AF1Right to statement of entitlement: benefits other than money purchase

1

The trustees or managers of a pension scheme must, on the application of any member, provide the member with a statement of entitlement in respect of the member's transferrable rights in relation to categories of benefits other than money purchase benefits.

2

In the case of a member with transferrable rights in relation to two categories of benefits other than money purchase benefits, the application may relate to transferrable rights in relation to either or both of those categories.

3

For the purposes of this Chapter a member's “statement of entitlement” is a written statement of the amount of the cash equivalent at the guarantee date of the transferrable rights to which the application under subsection (1) relates.

4

In this Chapter “the guarantee date” means the date by reference to which the value of the cash equivalent is calculated, and must be—

a

within the prescribed period beginning with the date of the application, and

b

within the prescribed period ending with the date on which the statement of entitlement is provided to the member.

5

Regulations may make provision in relation to applications under this section and may, in particular, restrict the making of successive applications.

6

If the trustees or managers of a pension scheme fail to comply with subsection (1), Article 10 of the Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (civil penalties) applies to any trustee or manager who has failed to take all reasonable steps to secure compliance.
