Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations consolidate, with amendments, Regulations relating to the revaluation of pensions under occupational pension schemes.
The requirements as to the revaluation of pensions under occupational pension schemes are contained in Part I of Schedule 1A to the Social Security Pensions Act 1975. Part I of Schedule 1A overrides any conflicting provision of a scheme, as described in paragraph 7 of Schedule 1A.
These Regulations modify the provisions of Part I of Schedule 1A in their application to benefits payable later than normal pension age (regulation 3), hybrid benefits (regulation 4), benefits consisting of two or more components (regulation 5), benefits other than short service benefit (regulation 7) and schemes with an overseas element (regulation 11).
These Regulations also modify Part I of Schedule 1A in certain cases where benefits are commuted, forfeited or surrendered (regulation 8) and varied at state pension age (regulation 9).
In addition, regulation 6 specifies the amount that may be deducted from money purchase benefits in respect of administrative expenses, regulation 10 allows periods of pensionable service to be rounded to a whole month for the purpose of calculating the amount by which revaluation requires a benefit to be increased, regulation 12 provides for cases where a member’s pensionable service is interrupted rather than terminated and regulation 13 provides for cases where a lump sum has been paid to a member in respect of his pensionable service before 6th April 1975.
The report of the Occupational Pensions Board on the draft of these Regulations which was referred to them, together with a statement by the Secretary of State showing that these Regulations give effect to the Board’s recommendations, is contained in Command Paper No. 1408, published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
