Chapter 1 schemes: additional pension commencement lump sum unavailable after voluntary contributions rights extinguished or varied

This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

5.—(1) Paragraph (3) applies where—

(a)before the relevant time, an individual was paid a pension commencement lump sum(1) under a Chapter 1 scheme,

(b)that lump sum was paid in connection with rights (“original rights”) in respect of an arrangement under that scheme to additional benefits, or to the earlier payment of benefits, that were secured by the payment of voluntary contributions, and

(c)as a result of scheme regulations made by virtue of section 20 of PSPJOA 2022—

(i)later rights are created in an arrangement under the relevant Chapter 1 legacy scheme, or

(ii)original rights or later rights are varied (“varied rights”).

(2) In paragraph (1)—

“later rights” means rights that represent either—

(a)

rights of an equivalent value to the original rights that were extinguished by scheme regulations made by virtue of section 20 of PSPJOA 2022, or

(b)

rights that would have been secured under the relevant Chapter 1 legacy scheme if the voluntary contributions connected to the original rights had, instead, been paid to that scheme in respect of that individual.

“the relevant time” means the time at which section 2(1) of PSPJOA 2022 (remediable service treated as pensionable under Chapter 1 legacy schemes) comes into force.

(3) After the relevant time, the relevant Chapter 1 legacy scheme is to be treated as making an unauthorised payment(2) to the individual, or to the individual’s personal representatives, if it pays a pension commencement lump sum in connection with later rights or varied rights.
