PENSIONS

These Regulations amend the Pension Schemes Act 2015 (Transitional Provisions and Appropriate Independent Advice) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/742) (“the Advice Regulations”), which relate to the requirement in section 48 of the Pension Schemes Act 2015 (c. 8) (“the 2015 Act”) that the trustees or managers of a pension scheme must check that a member or survivor has received appropriate independent advice before carrying out certain transactions. The requirement applies to a member’s or survivor’s “safeguarded benefits”, meaning benefits which are neither money purchase benefits nor cash balance benefits as defined in pensions legislation.
