PENSIONS

These Regualtions further amend the Pensions Increase (Approved Schemes) (National Health Service) Regulations 1976 (“the 1976 Regulations”). Those Regulations provide for payments to certain persons who, having elected to secure their superannuation benefits through schemes which operate by way of insurance policies to produce lump sums or annuities, or both, on retirement (persons who so elect being known as “optants”), have retired from employment in the National Health Service, and would have been eligible for increases under the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 had they been pensionable under the National Health Service superannuation scheme.
