(2) Where all or any of the benefits to which a [F4cash equivalent shown in the statement of entitlement] relates have been surrendered, commuted or forfeited before the date on which the trustees do what is needed to carry out what the member requires, that part of the [F4cash equivalent shown in the statement of entitlement] which relates to the benefits so surrendered, commuted or forfeited shall be reduced to nil.
