This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

(1)Scheme regulations for a Chapter 1 legacy scheme must make provision so as to secure that an election for new scheme benefits may be made in relation to the remediable service in an employment or office of a relevant member of the scheme that is pensionable service under the scheme (whether or not by virtue of section 2(1)).

(2)In this section “relevant member”, in relation to a Chapter 1 legacy scheme, means a member of the scheme who, immediately before the coming into force of section 2(1)

(a)is a pensioner member of the scheme, or of a Chapter 1 new scheme, in relation to the employment or office, or

(b)is deceased.

(3)Where a member has remediable service in multiple employments or offices that is pensionable service under the scheme, provision made under subsection (1) must include provision for separate elections in relation to the member’s remediable service in each of them.

(b)in such a case, applies for those purposes in relation to the relevant member’s remediable service from the end of the section 6 election period.
