17AA Meaning of “the FAS cap”¶

1 This regulation gives the meaning of “the FAS cap” for the purposes of—

a Schedule 2 (determination of annual and initial payments); and

b Schedule 2A (determination of ill health and interim ill health payments).

2 In this regulation, “the standard amount” means the appropriate amount given in—

a paragraph 7(3) of Schedule 2 in the case of an annual or initial payment; and

b paragraph 7(3) of Schedule 2A in the case of an ill health or interim ill health payment.

3 The FAS cap for or in respect of a person who has 20 or fewer years of pensionable service at the time when the person first becomes entitled to an annual payment or (as the case may be) an ill health payment is the standard amount.

4 Subject to paragraph (6), the FAS cap for or in respect of a person who has more than 20 years of pensionable service at that time is the sum of—

a the standard amount, and

b for each whole year of pensionable service that exceeds 20 years of pensionable service, the amount found by multiplying the standard amount by 3%.

5 If the total amount calculated under paragraph (4)(b) would exceed the standard amount, it is to be treated as being equal to the standard amount.

6 The FAS cap for the purposes of determining the amount of an initial payment or an interim ill health payment is the standard amount.

7 In any case where—

a the scheme manager cannot determine the length of some or all of a person’s pensionable service under the scheme rules; or

b the person has benefits under the rules which are not attributable to a particular period of pensionable service,

the scheme manager must treat the person as having a length of pensionable service as the scheme manager considers appropriate (which is in addition to any other pensionable service the person has for the purposes of this regulation), having regard to the scheme rules and to such other information as the scheme manager considers relevant.

8 When calculating a person’s pensionable service for the purpose of determining the amount of the FAS cap in relation to a qualifying pension scheme, no account is to be taken of any pensionable service that the person may have under a different pension scheme.

9 A person who is regarded as a qualifying member under regulation 15(5) (qualifying members) must be treated for the purposes of this regulation as having pensionable service of the same length as the deceased former member (which is in addition to any pensionable service that the person is treated as having under paragraph (7)).

10 A pension credit member credited with a length of notional pensionable service because of pension credit rights must be treated for the purposes of this regulation as having pensionable service of that length (which is in addition to any pensionable service that the person is treated as having under paragraph (7)).

17B Interim ill health payments¶

1 This regulation applies where ^F177...—

a the scheme manager has been notified that, and is satisfied that, a qualifying member of a qualifying pension scheme is unable to work due to ill health and is likely to continue to be so unable to work until normal retirement age; or

b a qualifying member of that scheme—

i has died and leaves a survivor or a surviving dependant; and

ii was receiving an interim ill health payment when he died.

2 Except where regulation 17C(8)(b)(i) applies, the scheme manager may, in its discretion, make an interim ill health payment, in anticipation of an ill health payment being payable under this Part and on account of such a payment—

a to the qualifying member with effect from—

i the day on which the Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2008 come into force;

ii subject to paragraph (3), the day on which the scheme manager is first notified that that member is unable to work due to ill health and is likely to continue to be so unable to work until normal retirement age; or

iii the day on which the member attains the age which is 5 years less than normal retirement age,

whichever is the latest; or

b if the qualifying member has died, to a survivor and any surviving dependants of that qualifying member with effect from the day after the day on which that qualifying member died.

3 Where the scheme manager—

a has been notified that a qualifying member is unable to work due to ill health and is likely to continue to be so unable to work until normal retirement age;

b is not so satisfied or the qualifying member withdraws the notification; and

c receives a further notification in relation to that qualifying member and is then so satisfied,

the day which is the day for the purposes of paragraph (2)(a)(ii) is the day of the later notification.

4 In exercising its discretion under paragraph (2), the scheme manager shall only have regard to—

a the amount, if any, of any interim pension that was in payment, is in payment, or is proposed to be paid, from the qualifying pension scheme to the qualifying member; and

b any circumstances relating to the scheme which, in the opinion of the scheme manager are relevant to determining whether an interim ill health payment should be made.

5 Where the trustees or managers have determined the amount of interim pension that would be paid to the qualifying member, any surviving dependants or the survivor of that qualifying member, but do not propose to pay that interim pension for administrative reasons, the scheme manager may, in exercising its discretion under paragraph (2) and in determining the amount of interim ill health payment under Schedule 2A, deem that member, any such surviving dependant or that survivor to be receiving that interim pension, if in the scheme manager’s opinion it is reasonable to do so.

6 Schedule 2A makes provision for the determination of the amount of interim ill health payments and the circumstances in which an interim ill health payment is not payable.

7 If the scheme manager determines that an interim ill health payment may be made under paragraph (2), the interim ill health payment is payable—

a to a qualifying member from the relevant day mentioned in that paragraph until the day on which the qualifying member—

i would have been paid, or is paid, the first ^F187... instalment of an ill health payment in accordance with regulation 19, if an ill health payment were payable, or is payable, to him under this Part; or

ii dies,

whichever is the earlier; ^F181...

b in respect of a qualifying member who has died, to a survivor of that qualifying member from the day after the day on which that qualifying member died until the day on which his survivor—

i would have been paid, or is paid, the first ^F188... instalment of an ill health payment in accordance with regulation 19, if an ill health payment were payable, or is payable, to him under this Part; or

ii dies,

whichever is the earlier; and

c in respect of a qualifying member who has died, to a surviving dependant of that qualifying member from the day after the day on which that qualifying member died until the day on which the surviving dependant—

i would have been paid, or is paid, the first instalment of an ill health payment in accordance with regulation 19, if an ill health payment were payable, or is payable, to that surviving dependant under this Part; or

ii dies or otherwise ceases to be entitled to an ill health payment in accordance with regulation 17A,

whichever is the earlier.

8 Where a beneficiary dies or otherwise ceases to be entitled to an ill health payment—

a subject to sub-paragraph (b), any further instalments of an interim ill health payment that would have been payable to that beneficiary, in respect of that year, cease to be payable;

b any instalment of an interim ill health payment which is payable in respect of a period which includes the day on which the beneficiary has died or otherwise ceased to be entitled to an ill health payment shall be payable.

9 The scheme manager may, at any time before the amount of the ill health payment is determined, redetermine the amount of any interim ill health payment paid under paragraph (2) if it is satisfied that the amount being paid by way of an interim ill health payment, as determined in accordance with Schedule 2A, may be incorrect.

10 The power to redetermine the amount of an interim ill health payment under paragraph (9) includes the power to redetermine the amount as a result of a change in the amount of interim pension being paid to the qualifying member.

11 If, having determined that an interim ill health payment may be made under paragraph (2), the scheme manager subsequently determines, in accordance with Schedule 2A, that no ill health payment is payable to or in respect of that qualifying member, that qualifying member’s surviving dependants or his survivor, then the total of all ^F186... instalments of an interim ill health pension made to or in respect of that qualifying member, any surviving dependant or his survivor is recoverable in accordance with regulation 7 of the FAS Information and Payments Regulations.

ii approved by the scheme manager for the purposes of carrying out a valuation under paragraph (1);

b prepared in accordance with guidance published from time to time by the Secretary of State;

c presented in such manner and form as set out in guidance published from time to time by the scheme manager; and

d given to the scheme manager upon completion, together with such information as set out in guidance published from time to time by the Secretary of State.

6 The scheme manager may direct the trustees or managers whom to appoint as valuation actuary.

7 When valuing the assets of the scheme, the valuation actuary shall disregard—

a any assets representing the value of any rights in respect of money purchase benefits under the scheme rules;

b any assets held by or vested in the trustees or managers of the scheme which are to be used prior to transfer of the scheme’s assets in accordance with section 161 (as modified by Schedule 1 to these Regulations) to discharge liabilities in respect of voluntary contributions;

c any assets, the value of which is required to discharge the scheme’s pension liabilities to or in respect of a qualifying member to whom this Part does not apply;

d any debt due, or treated as due, to the trustees or managers which, in the opinion of the scheme manager, is unlikely to be recovered without disproportionate cost or within a reasonable time;

e an amount in respect of the value of any pre-6th April 1997 contract of insurance if—

i the trustees or managers have taken all reasonable steps to obtain information concerning that contract of insurance (whether by searching the records of the scheme or otherwise); and

ii the information that they provide concerning that contract of insurance is insufficient, in the opinion of the valuation actuary, to conduct a valuation;

f any payments made to the trustees or managers of the qualifying pension scheme under regulation 14B (payments in relation to administration and other costs); and

g any amount which is required to discharge expenses which have been, or will be reasonably incurred by the trustees or managers of the scheme.

8 In paragraph (7)(e), “pre-6th April 1997 contract of insurance” means a contract of insurance—

a which is a relevant contract of insurance within the meaning given by section 161(8) or Article 145(8);

b which was taken out before 6th April 1997; and

c of which the trustees or managers are, or should reasonably be, aware.

9 Where the scheme manager is of the opinion that it is not appropriate for an asset to be disregarded under paragraph (7)(c), the valuation actuary shall not disregard it.

23 Valuation of assets¶

1 This regulation is subject to regulation 24.

2 Subject to paragraphs (3) to (10), for the purposes of the valuation of the assets of a qualifying pension scheme the valuation actuary shall adopt the given value of the assets of the scheme stated in the relevant accounts as the value of those assets as at the calculation date.

3 The value of a contract of insurance shall be—

a where the contract of insurance is a relevant contract of insurance within the meaning given by section 161(8) or Article 145(8), the value of the liability secured; or

b subject to paragraph (4), where the contract of insurance is not a relevant contract of insurance within that meaning, the surrender value of the contract of insurance.

4 Where a contract of insurance is not a relevant contract of insurance within the meaning given by section 161(8) or Article 145(8) and it appears to the valuation actuary that the surrender value of the contract of insurance does not accurately reflect the actual value at the calculation date, the valuation actuary shall adopt such a value as appears to that actuary to be appropriate.

5 Subject to paragraph (6), where—

a a contribution notice has been issued under section 38 or 47 or Article 34 or 43;

b a financial support direction has been issued under section 43 or Article 39; or

c a restoration order has been made under section 52 or Article 48,

in relation to the qualifying pension scheme, the valuation actuary shall adopt the amount due to the scheme given in the notice, direction or order as the value of the asset.

6 Where—

a an amount is due under a notice, direction or order referred to in paragraph (5); and

b the valuation actuary is of the opinion that the amount due in relation to the notice, direction or order will not be recouped in full by the scheme,

the valuation actuary shall adjust the value of the asset referred to in paragraph (5) to the value which, in the opinion of the valuation actuary is likely to be recouped by the trustees or managers of the qualifying pension scheme.

7 Where the valuation actuary is of the opinion that any debt due, or treated as due, will be recouped in the future, the proportion of the debt that the valuation actuary expects to be recouped shall be treated as an asset of the scheme.

8 Where—

a the valuation actuary has been given notice; or

i the valuation actuary is of the opinion; and

ii the scheme manager agrees with the valuation actuary’s opinion,

that the value of any asset set out in the relevant accounts, that is not excluded from the valuation, is substantially different at the calculation date from that set out in the relevant accounts, the valuation actuary shall adjust the value of the asset to the market value of the asset at the calculation date.

9 Where the valuation actuary has been given notice, or is of the opinion, that there exists an asset of the scheme which is not listed in the relevant accounts and which is not excluded from the valuation, the valuation actuary shall adopt such a value for the asset as appears to that actuary to be appropriate.

10 Where the relevant accounts are not readily available and the scheme manager is of the opinion that it is not necessary for the purposes of this Part to require their preparation, the valuation actuary shall determine the value of the assets as at the calculation date on the basis of such information as the scheme manager considers appropriate.

11 When acting under this regulation, the valuation actuary shall act in accordance with guidance issued by the Secretary of State.

24 Power of the scheme manager to determine the value of an asset¶

1 Where the scheme manager is of the opinion that any asset in the scheme has a particular value, the scheme manager may determine the value of that asset of the scheme.

2 Where the scheme manager makes a determination in accordance with paragraph (1), the valuation actuary shall adopt the value determined by the scheme manager as the value of the asset as at the calculation date.

25 Approval of valuation¶

1 Where the scheme manager is satisfied that the valuation has been prepared in accordance with this Part, it must—

a approve the valuation; and

b notify the trustees or managers of the qualifying pension scheme of the approval.

2 Where the scheme manager is not so satisfied, it must instruct the trustees or managers of the qualifying pension scheme to obtain another valuation under this Part.

3 Where the scheme manager gives an instruction in accordance with paragraph (2), the trustees or managers of the qualifying pension scheme shall obtain another valuation and it shall be calculated as at the calculation date as determined in relation to the previous valuation.

26 Binding valuation¶

1 A valuation obtained under regulation 22 is not binding until—

a it is approved under regulation 25;

b the period within which an application for a review of the approval of the valuation may be made under regulation 5 of the Financial Assistance Scheme (Internal Review) Regulations 2005 (time for making an application for a review of a reviewable determination) has expired; and

c where an application referred to in sub-paragraph (b) is made—

i the internal review;

ii any appeal to the Ombudsman in respect of the approval; and

iii any appeal against any determinations or directions given or made by the Ombudsman in respect of such an appeal,

has been finally disposed of.

2 Where a valuation becomes binding under this regulation the scheme manager must as soon as reasonably practicable give a notice to that effect together with a copy of the binding valuation to—

a the trustees or managers of the qualifying pension scheme; and

b the Regulator.

3 The notice given by the scheme manager under paragraph (2) shall contain—

a a statement that it is a notice under regulation 26 of the Financial Assistance Scheme Regulations 2005;

b the date on which the notice is given;

c the name, address and pension scheme registration number of the qualifying pension scheme in respect of which the notice is given;

d a statement that the valuation under Part 7 has become binding;

e the date on which the notice was given;

f the name of the employer in relation to the qualifying pension scheme in respect of which the notice is given; and

g whether the notice given by the scheme manager contains any restricted information and, if so, the nature of the restriction.

PART 8 Scheme manager functions after a valuation¶

27 Scheme manager calculations after a valuation¶

1 Subject to paragraph (2), where a valuation has been obtained in accordance with regulation 22, the scheme manager shall determine—

a the annual rate of annuity (“the notional pension”) which could have been payable from the day determined in accordance with paragraphs (3) and (4) until the day determined in accordance with paragraph (5), if purchased on the calculation date with the asset share determined in accordance with regulation 22(2), in respect of—

i each qualifying member of the qualifying pension scheme to whom Part 7 applies; and

ii any other person who is not—

aa a qualifying member;

bb a survivor of a qualifying member; or

cc a surviving dependant of a qualifying member,

to whom the scheme, as a result of the death of a qualifying member, has a liability to provide a pension or other benefit which is not a money purchase benefit;

b where a qualifying member, who is not a qualifying member by virtue of regulation 15(5), has not died before the calculation date, the benefits that could have been purchased for a survivor and any surviving dependants with the asset share determined in accordance with regulation 22(2);

c where a qualifying member to whom Part 7 applies has died before the calculation date, the annual rate of annuity (“the survivor notional pension”) which could have been purchased in respect of each survivor and surviving dependant of that qualifying member with the asset share determined in accordance with regulation 22(2); and

d any annual increases to the notional pension and the survivor notional pension which could have been purchased with the asset share determined in accordance with regulation 22(2).

2 Where the scheme manager is of the opinion that it is not appropriate that a determination in accordance with paragraph (1) is made in relation to a particular person or category of persons, the scheme manager shall not make a determination in accordance with paragraph (1) in relation to such a person or category of persons.

3 Subject to paragraph (4), the day from which the notional pension could have been payable for the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) is—

a where the notional pension is in respect of a qualifying member who, on the calculation date, is neither entitled to an ill health payment nor receiving a present payment from the scheme, the day on which the qualifying member attains normal retirement age;

b where the notional pension is in respect of a qualifying member who is not a qualifying member by virtue of regulation 15(5) and who is, on the calculation date, entitled to an ill health payment or receiving a present payment from the scheme, the earlier of—

i the day on which the qualifying member began to receive a present payment from the scheme in accordance with scheme rules;

ii the day on which the qualifying member attains normal retirement age; and

iii the day on which the qualifying member became entitled to an ill health payment;

c where the notional pension is in respect of a qualifying member who is a qualifying member by virtue of regulation 15(5), the day on which the qualifying member began to receive a present payment from the scheme in accordance with scheme rules;

d where the notional pension is in respect of a person referred to in paragraph (1)(a)(ii), the day on which the liability to provide the pension or other benefit arose; and

e where a survivor notional pension is being determined, the day after the day on which the qualifying member died.

4 Where the day determined in accordance with paragraph (3)(b) or (c) falls before the day on which the qualifying pension scheme began to be wound up, the day for the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) is the day on which the qualifying pension scheme began to be wound up.

5 The day on which the notional pension ceases to be payable for the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) is the day on which entitlement to a payment would end in accordance with these Regulations.

6 The scheme manager shall make the determination in paragraph (1) by applying the asset share towards satisfying the amounts mentioned in paragraph (7) and—

a if sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of paragraph (7) applies and the asset share is insufficient to satisfy the amounts referred to in that sub-paragraph in full, then the asset share must be applied first towards satisfying the amounts mentioned in paragraph (i) of sub-paragraph (a) or (b), as the case may be; and

b if the asset share exceeds the amount needed to satisfy those amounts in full, the remainder shall be applied so as to increase the notional pension.

7 The amounts referred to in paragraph (6) are—

a where the notional pension is in respect of a qualifying member who was receiving a present payment from the qualifying pension scheme under the scheme rules before the coming into force of the Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2010—

i the pension and other benefits to which the qualifying member was entitled as at the later of—

ii annual increases on the amount determined in accordance with paragraph (i);

i the pension and other benefits payable to the qualifying member from the date determined in accordance with paragraph (3);

ii benefits which could be purchased for any survivor and surviving dependant of the qualifying member; and

iii annual increases on the amounts determined in accordance with paragraphs (i) and (ii).

8 In determining the amounts mentioned in paragraph (7)(c)(ii), the scheme manager shall have regard to the benefits that would be payable to any survivor or surviving dependant under Schedule 3, or, where the qualifying member is entitled to an ill health payment at the calculation date, under Schedule 5.

9 The survivor notional pension referred to in paragraph (1)(c) shall be determined by applying the asset share towards satisfying the amounts mentioned in paragraph (10) and—

a if sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph (10) applies and the asset share is insufficient to satisfy the amounts referred to in that sub-paragraph in full, then the asset share must be applied first towards satisfying the amounts mentioned in paragraph (i); and

b if the asset share exceeds the amount needed to satisfy those amounts in full, the remainder shall be applied so as to increase the survivor notional pension.

10 The amounts referred to in paragraph (9) are—

ii annual increases on the amount determined in accordance with paragraph (i); and

b where the survivor, surviving dependant or qualifying member in respect of the survivor or surviving dependant was not receiving a present payment from the qualifying pension scheme under scheme rules before the coming into force of the Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2010, the annuity which could be purchased, including annual increases for the survivor or surviving dependant.

11 In paragraphs (7)(a)(i) and (10)(a)(i), the pension and other benefits to which the asset share shall be applied in accordance with this regulation are—

a the annual rate of pension to which the beneficiary was entitled in accordance with the scheme rules, after any commutation of benefits deriving from the scheme, after the day on which the scheme began to be wound up;

b where the beneficiary is a qualifying member, the annual rate of pension to which any survivor or surviving dependant would be entitled in accordance with scheme rules in respect of the qualifying member;

c any amount (including any lump sum) payable as a result of a member of the scheme dying within a period specified in the scheme rules which begins on the day on which the member became entitled to a pension from the scheme or, if later, the day on which the pension was first paid; and

d any amount which, under the scheme rules, is payable to a beneficiary for a period which is shorter than the period in respect of which the remainder of the pension is payable.

12 Where the scheme manager is required to determine annual increases for the purposes of this regulation, the scheme manager shall have regard to the way in which annual increases are determined under—

a where paragraph (7)(c) or (10)(b) applies and—

i the beneficiary is not entitled to an ill health payment at the calculation date, paragraph 6 of Schedule 3; or

ii the beneficiary is entitled to an ill health payment at the calculation date, paragraph 6 of Schedule 5;

c paragraph 4 of Schedule 7, where paragraph (7)(b) applies.

13 For the purposes of this regulation—

i the qualifying member was entitled to payment under the scheme rules;

ii the trustees or managers of the scheme received confirmation from the qualifying member that payment should commence; and

iii the qualifying member’s entitlement became payable, as a result of (i) and (ii) being satisfied; and

14 This regulation is subject to regulation 28.

28 Determination of certain asset shares, notional pensions and survivor notional pensions¶

b a qualifying member, prior to attaining normal retirement age or becoming entitled to an ill health payment, begins to receive a present payment from the qualifying scheme after the calculation date and before the day on which the transfer notice is given.

4 Where this paragraph applies, the scheme manager may redetermine the notional pension having regard to—

a where paragraph (3)(a) applies, the amount of the lump sum;

b where paragraph (3)(b) applies—

i the qualifying member’s normal retirement age; and

ii the date on which the qualifying member began to receive a present payment from the scheme; and

c such other matters as the scheme manager considers relevant.

29 Transfer notice¶

1 Where a valuation has become binding under regulation 26 and the scheme manager is satisfied that it is an appropriate time for the notice to be given, the scheme manager must give the trustees or managers of the qualifying pension scheme a notice (a “transfer notice”).

2 Where a transfer notice is given under this regulation the scheme manager—

a must give a copy of the transfer notice to the Regulator; and

b may give a copy of the transfer notice to any other person to whom, in the opinion of the scheme manager, the transfer notice is relevant.

3 Where the trustees or managers have been discharged from their obligations to provide pensions or other benefits to or in respect of any persons in accordance with section 161 as modified, the scheme manager shall notify those persons, or where such person has an appointed representative, that appointed representative within 28 days of the transfer notice being given.

30 Terms and conditions of contracts¶

1 Where a transfer notice has been given to the trustees or managers of a qualifying pension scheme and the scheme manager considers that a contract relating to the property, rights and liabilities of the scheme contains terms or conditions that the scheme manager considers onerous, the scheme manager may—

a disapply any such term or condition; or

b substitute for the term or condition, a term or condition that the scheme manager considers to be reasonable.

2 Where—

a any rights or liabilities under a relevant contract of insurance are transferred to the Secretary of State by virtue of section 161 of, and Schedule 6 to, the Pensions Act as modified; and

b as a result of the transfer, the Secretary of State is required, by reason of a term of that contract, to pay a specified amount or specified amounts to a specified person who, immediately before the time the transfer notice was given, was a member of the scheme or a person entitled to benefits in respect of such a member,

the scheme manager may modify that term of the contract so that any benefit under that contract shall be payable to the Secretary of State.

PART 9 Miscellaneous payments and residual assets¶

31 Payments where amounts relating to money purchase benefits are transferred to the Secretary of State¶

1 Subject to paragraph (3), where the property transferred to the Secretary of State under section 161 (as modified by Schedule 1 to these Regulations) includes property representing the value of rights in respect of money purchase benefits under the scheme rules, the scheme manager must make arrangements to facilitate a payment or payments to be made to any person in respect of whom the qualifying pension scheme held the assets.

2 The scheme manager must be satisfied that the arrangement made under paragraph (1) is made in respect of the full value of the assets transferred as at the date the arrangement is made.

3 Where the person in respect of whom the assets were held has died, the arrangement under paragraph (1) shall be made in respect of the estate of the deceased person.

32 Payments to estates where a person in receipt of a payment from a scheme dies prior to entitlement and prior to transfer of assets¶

1 This regulation applies where—

a a person in respect of whom an asset share has been determined dies on or after the calculation date and prior to the day on which the transfer notice is given;

b that person was not entitled to an annual payment or an ill health payment on the day on which that person died;

c that person was receiving a present payment from the scheme immediately before the day on which the person died; and

d the scheme manager is satisfied that the amount of any interim pension from the scheme paid to that person in respect of any year from the later of—

i the day on which the person began to receive a payment from the scheme; and

ii the day on which the scheme began to wind up,

until the day on which the person died is lower than the sum of the notional pension and any annual increases which the scheme manager has determined under regulation 27 could be paid, in respect of that year.

2 Where this regulation applies, the scheme manager may, after the transfer notice has been given, make a payment to the person’s estate, having regard to—

a the amount of any interim pension which was paid to the person;

b the amount of the sum of—

i the notional pension; and

ii any annual increases determined in accordance with regulation 27; and

c such other matters as the scheme manager considers relevant.

33 Transfer of residual assets to the Secretary of State where Part 7 does not apply¶

1 This regulation applies where—

a Part 7 does not apply to a qualifying pension scheme because the liabilities to or in respect of all members and former members have been discharged;

b the trustees or managers continue to hold assets for the scheme;

c the trustees or managers have notified the scheme manager in writing that they wish to transfer the assets to the Secretary of State; and

d the scheme manager is satisfied that—

i either—

aa the cost of distributing the remaining assets to the members or former members of the scheme would be disproportionate; or

bb the distribution of the remaining assets would not be of overall benefit to the members or former members of the scheme;

ii the assets can be transferred to the Secretary of State; and

iii it is appropriate that the assets are transferred to the Secretary of State.

2 Where this regulation applies, the trustees or managers of a qualifying pension scheme to which Part 7 does not apply may transfer the remaining assets to the Secretary of State at such time as the Secretary of State may decide.

2 Actual pension¶

1 In this Schedule, “actual pension” means, subject to sub-paragraphs (3) to (4) and paragraph 2A, the annual rate of annuity which has been, can be or could have been, paid to the beneficiary as at the later of—

a the day from which the beneficiary is entitled to an annual payment; or

b the day on which the qualifying pension scheme began to be wound up,

as a result of the purchase of an annuity with the assets available to discharge the liability of the scheme to, or in respect of, the qualifying member after that liability has, or had, been determined.

1A For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), where a transfer notice has been given in respect of a qualifying pension scheme, no assets which are transferred to the Secretary of State shall be treated as being available to discharge the liability in respect of any qualifying member of that scheme from the day on which the transfer notice is given.

2 The liability of the scheme to the beneficiary shall be determined for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)—

a in accordance with section 73 of the 1995 Act; or

b where that section does not apply, in accordance with the scheme rules.

3 The annual rate of annuity which has been, can be or could have been purchased for the beneficiary for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) or, as the case may be, paragraph 2A, as a result of the purchase of an annuity with the assets referred to in that sub-paragraph, shall be determined (or, as the case may be, redetermined)—

a where the beneficiary was an active or a deferred member of the qualifying pension scheme on the day before the day on which the qualifying pension scheme began to be wound up, on the basis that the sum which will be, or has been, used to discharge the liability of the scheme to him will only be, or has only been, used to purchase an annuity when the qualifying member attains, or attained, his normal retirement age;

b where the beneficiary is a survivor or surviving dependant of a member of that scheme, having regard to the annual rate of annuity which will come into payment to that beneficiary on the later of—

i the day on which an annuity has been purchased from the assets of the scheme; or

ii the day after the day on which that qualifying member died;

ba where the beneficiary is a survivor or surviving dependant, on the basis that any amount (including any lump sum) payable to that beneficiary as a result of the death of the qualifying member being within a period specified in the scheme rules beginning on the day on which the member became entitled to a pension from the scheme or, if later, the day on which the pension was first paid, shall not be taken into account;

^F236c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

d on the basis that there has been no commutation of benefits deriving from the scheme after the day on which the scheme began to be wound up.

3A Where the scheme manager is satisfied that the amount of interim pension paid to the beneficiary in respect of any previous year or years in which an annual payment was payable to the beneficiary is higher or lower than the annual rate of annuity determined in accordance with this paragraph, the scheme manager may determine how the actual pension is to be calculated for the purposes of determining the annual payment in respect of each year in which an annual payment is payable to the beneficiary, having regard to—

a the annual rate of annuity determined in accordance with this paragraph;

b the amount of any interim pension which was, or is due to be, paid to the beneficiary; and

c such other matters as the scheme manager considers relevant.

3B Sub-paragraph (3D) applies where the scheme manager is satisfied that the sum of interim pension paid to a beneficiary and any payment made under these Regulations in respect of any year in the period determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (3C) is higher or lower than the sum of—

a the revalued notional pension or survivor notional pension; and

b any annual increases or proportion of annual increases, which the scheme manager considers could have been paid in respect of that year, taking into account—

i the determination under regulation 27(1)(d);

ii the revaluation amount determined in accordance with regulation 17(11); and

iii the proportion of that year which falls after the 1st January.

3C For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3B), the period is the period from—

a the earlier of—

i the day on which the beneficiary became entitled to a payment under these Regulations; and

ii the day on which the beneficiary became entitled under the scheme rules to a pension or other benefit; or

b the day on which the qualifying pension scheme began to be wound up if that is later than the day determined in accordance with paragraph (a),

until the day on which the scheme manager gave a transfer notice to the scheme trustees or managers.

3D Where this sub-paragraph applies, the scheme manager may—

a determine how the actual pension is to be calculated, having regard to—

i the amount of interim pension which was paid to the beneficiary;

ii the amount of the sum of—

aa the revalued notional pension or survivor notional pension; and

bb any annual increases, or proportion of annual increases, which the scheme manager considers could have been paid;

iii the amount of any payments made under these Regulations prior to the day on which the transfer notice is given; and

iv such other matters as the scheme manager considers relevant; and

b where the sum of the interim pension paid and any payments made under these Regulations in respect of any year is lower than the sum of the amounts referred to in sub-paragraph (3B)(a) and (b), make a payment to the beneficiary or, where the beneficiary has died prior to the scheme manager making this determination, to the beneficiary’s estate, having regard to—

i the amount of interim pension which was paid to the beneficiary;

ii the amount of the sum of—

aa the revalued notional pension or survivor notional pension; and

bb any annual increases, or proportion of annual increases, which the scheme manager considers could have been paid;

iii the amount of any payments made under these Regulations prior to the scheme manager giving the transfer notice; and

iv such other matters as the scheme manager considers relevant.

3E Where the scheme manager is satisfied that an amount is owed by the beneficiary to the Secretary of State as a result of the beneficiary owing, before the day on which a transfer notice is given, an amount to a qualifying pension scheme to which Part 7 applies, the scheme manager may determine how the actual pension is to be calculated, having regard to the amount owed by the beneficiary and to such other matters as the scheme manager considers relevant.

3F Where the beneficiary is a qualifying member who has received a payment in accordance with regulation 17H (payments to qualifying members receiving a pension from the qualifying pension scheme before entitlement to an annual payment or ill health payment), or the survivor or surviving dependant of such a qualifying member, the scheme manager may determine how the actual pension is to be calculated, having regard to—

a the amount paid under regulation 17H;

b any interim pension paid by the scheme from the day on which the scheme began to be wound up until the day on which a transfer notice was given; and

c such other matters as the scheme manager considers relevant.

3G Where the beneficiary is a qualifying member to whom regulation 17D applies or a survivor or surviving dependant of such a qualifying member, the scheme manager may determine how the actual pension is to be calculated, having regard to any lump sum paid and determined in accordance with that regulation.

3H Where the beneficiary is—

a a qualifying member to whom regulation 17H applied whose payment under Schedule 7 had been reduced under paragraph 1(2) or (5) of that Schedule; or

b a beneficiary who was entitled to an annual payment determined in accordance with Schedule 4 whose payment under that Schedule has been reduced under paragraph 1(2) or (5),

the scheme manager shall include the amount by which the payment has been reduced when determining the actual pension.

3I Sub-paragraph (3J) applies where—

a a qualifying member to whom Part 7 applies has received a payment from the scheme before becoming entitled to an annual payment;

b a transfer notice has been given in respect of the qualifying pension scheme; and

c the qualifying member became entitled to an annual payment prior to the day on which the transfer notice was given.

3J Where this sub-paragraph applies, the scheme manager may determine how the actual pension is to be calculated, having regard to—

a any interim pension paid by the scheme from the day on which the scheme began to be wound up until the day on which the transfer notice was given; and

b such other matters as the scheme manager considers relevant.

3K Where—

a the beneficiary is a qualifying member or the survivor or surviving dependant of a qualifying member to whom part 7 applies;

b the qualifying member has commuted for a lump sum a portion of the benefits deriving from the scheme after the day on which the scheme began to be wound up; and

c a transfer notice has been given in respect of the scheme,

the scheme manager may determine how the actual pension is to be calculated having regard to any lump sum paid as a result of the commutation.

4 Where the scheme manager is satisfied that it is not possible for him to determine the annual rate of annuity for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) having regard to the information available to it and to such other matters as the scheme manager considers appropriate, it shall determine the annual rate of annuity on the basis of the sum which would discharge the liability of the scheme to the beneficiary and of such other matters as it considers relevant.

5 Where the scheme manager is satisfied that increases have been, are being, or will be made to the annual rate of annuity, and it considers that those increases are not reasonable, it may determine the annual rate of annuity on the basis of the sum which would discharge the liability of the scheme to the beneficiary and of such other matters as it considers relevant.

2A Annual redetermination¶

1 This paragraph applies where—

a on the first indexation date following the date on which the beneficiary first became entitled to an annual payment; and

b on any indexation date following that first indexation date;

the annual rate of annuity which has been or could have been paid to the beneficiary as at that indexation date as a result of the purchase of an annuity with the assets available to discharge the liability of the scheme to, or in respect of, the qualifying member after that liability has or had been determined, is higher as a result of indexation or revaluation than the annual rate determined in accordance with paragraph 2.

2 Where this paragraph applies, the scheme manager shall redetermine the annual payment payable to that beneficiary with effect from the indexation date.

3 When redetermining an annual payment under sub-paragraph (2), the actual pension for the purposes of paragraph 3(2) or 4(2) shall be the annual rate of annuity which has been or could have been paid to the beneficiary as at the indexation date as a result of the purchase of an annuity with the assets available to discharge the liability of the scheme to, or in respect of, the qualifying member after that liability has or had been determined, on the basis of, and having regard to, the matters referred to in paragraph 2(3).

4 In any case where the scheme manager is satisfied, having regard to the information available to it, that it is not possible for it to determine the annual rate of annuity for the purposes of this paragraph, it shall determine that annual rate having regard to such matters as it considers relevant.

5 Where the scheme manager is satisfied that increases have been, are being, or will be made to the annual rate of annuity, and it considers that those increases are not reasonable, it may determine the annual rate of annuity for the purposes of this paragraph on the basis of the sum which would discharge the liability of the scheme to the beneficiary and of such other matters as it considers relevant.

5 Where—

a the annual rate of the pension determined for the purposes of calculating the expected pension under sub-paragraph (2) includes an amount which, under the rules of the qualifying pension scheme, was payable for a period which is shorter than the period in respect of which the remainder of the pension was payable; and

b the liabilities of the scheme in respect of the beneficiary have been discharged (whether by the purchase of an annuity or by other means) in a manner which does not provide for a reduction in the annual rate of an annuity from the date on which the amount referred to in paragraph (a) would have ceased to be payable under the rules of the pension scheme,

the scheme manager shall determine the expected pension having regard to the expected pension which would have been determined in accordance with paragraph 4A if that paragraph had applied and to such other matters as it considers relevant.

4 In any case where the scheme manager is satisfied, having regard to the information available to it, that it is not possible for it to identify any one of the elements in sub-paragraph (3) or (3A) or paragraph 4B it may determine how the annual payment is to be calculated having regard to such matters as it considers relevant.

5 The first revaluation period is the period—

a beginning on the day on which the qualifying member’s pensionable service ended; and

b ending on the day before the day on which the qualifying pension scheme began to be wound up.

6 The revaluation amount for the first revaluation period is the amount by which the annual rate of the pension under sub-paragraph (3)(a) would fall to be revalued—

a in relation to any guaranteed minimum pension, in accordance with section 16 of the 1993 Act, having regard to the relevant scheme rules; and

where—

A is the level of the retail prices index for March 2004; and

4A Bridging pensions¶

1 This paragraph applies where—

a the annual rate of the pension determined for the purposes of calculating the expected pension under paragraph 3(2) or 4(2) includes an amount which, under the scheme rules, was payable for a period which is shorter than the period in respect of which the remainder of the pension was payable; and

3 Sub-paragraph (5) applies where the scheme manager is satisfied that the amount of interim pension paid to a beneficiary in respect of any year in the period determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (4) is higher or lower than the sum of—

a the notional pension; and

b any annual increases or proportion of annual increases, which the scheme manager considers could have been paid in respect of that year, taking into account—

a the appropriate percentage of the amount of the underlying rate immediately before that date; or

b where that person first became entitled to a payment in accordance with regulation 17G or 17H during the period of 12 months ending immediately before that date, one twelfth of that amount for each full month since the date on which the payment was first payable.

Explanatory Note¶

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations establish a financial assistance scheme, allowing for payments to be made to, or in respect of, certain members or former members of certain occupational pension schemes where the liabilities of the scheme to those members are unlikely to be satisfied in full.

Part 1 makes provision for citation, commencement and extent, and also for interpretation of words and phrases used in the Regulations. In particular, it prescribes when a scheme is deemed to have started to wind up for the purposes of these Regulations (regulation 3), applies parts of Parts 1 and 2 of the Pensions Act 2004 (c. 35) for the purposes of these Regulations with the modifications prescribed in Schedule 1 and makes special provision for Northern Ireland (regulation 4).

Part 2 establishes the financial assistance scheme. It provides that the scheme is to be managed by the Secretary of State (regulation 5), that there is to be a fund out of which payments are to be made which shall consist both of monies allocated by Parliament and other amounts which may be provided by third parties on a voluntary basis (regulation 6), that the Secretary of State must report to Parliament on the operation of the financial assistance scheme in respect of each financial year (regulation 7) and that the scheme manager may delegate performance of his functions arising under, or by virtue of, these Regulations to another person on his behalf (regulation 8).

Part 3 prescribes which occupational pension schemes are to be regarded as qualifying pension schemes for the purposes of these Regulations. It both lists the basic criteria (regulation 9) and describes certain types of scheme which are not to be regarded as qualifying pension schemes (regulation 10). It also prescribes the conditions which must apply to the employer for a scheme to be so regarded (regulations 11 and 12), what are to be insolvency events for the purposes of these Regulations (regulation 13) and what details about the scheme must be provided to the scheme manager before the scheme can be regarded as a qualifying pension scheme (regulation 14).

Part 4 prescribes which persons are to be regarded as qualifying members for the purposes of these Regulations (regulation 15) and the basis for ascertaining when a scheme is regarded as having insufficient assets for discharging its liability to the member (regulation 16).

Part 5 prescribes that annual payments are payable to, or in respect of, qualifying members of qualifying pension schemes, that the amounts of those payments are to be determined in accordance with Schedule 2 and that those payments are payable for the life of the beneficiary (regulation 17). It also prescribes that initial payments can be made to qualifying members in certain circumstances (regulation 18).

Part 6 deals with the administration of payments. It prescribes how and when annual payments and initial payments are to be paid (regulation 19), and the arrangements for making payments by direct credit transfer (regulation 20).

The modifications in Schedule 1—

allow an inspector on behalf of the Pensions Regulator to collect information on behalf of the scheme manager (paragraph 1);
allow the Regulator to disclose restricted information to facilitate the scheme manager's functions (paragraphs 2 and 3);
allow for regulations to be prescribed which allow amounts overpaid from the financial assistance scheme to be recovered and payments from the financial assistance scheme to be suspended (paragraph 4);
allow for regulations to be prescribed to require certain information to be supplied to the scheme manager (paragraph 5);
allow notices to be issued requiring the provision of such information and for enforcement action to be taken if such information is not provided (paragraphs 6 to 9);
allow the scheme manager to use information (paragraph 10) and to disclose restricted information in certain circumstances and for certain purposes (paragraphs 11 to 14);
allow for regulations to require the scheme manager and other persons to disclose certain information in certain circumstances (paragraph 15);
make appropriate interpretation provisions (paragraph 16).

Schedule 2 prescribes the method for calculating the amount of an annual payment under these Regulations for each category of qualifying member or their survivor (paragraphs 1 to 5). It also prescribes certain benefits which are not to be taken into account in determining the annual payment (paragraph 6), for a cap to be imposed on the amount of expected or actual pension to be taken into account (paragraph 7) and for no payment to be made if the amount of the annual payment does not exceed a certain amount (paragraph 8). It also prescribes the method for calculating initial payments (paragraph 10).

A regulatory impact assessment has not been published for this instrument as it has only a negligible impact on business, charities and voluntary bodies.
