Paragraph 3 Information for authorities

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

An authority may by written notice require any person who is in receipt of a pension or may have an entitlement to a pension or a lump sum under this Scheme to provide the authority with such supporting evidence as the authority may reasonably require to establish—

(a)

the identity of that person; and

(b)

that person’s continuing or future entitlement to the payment of any amount under this Scheme.

(2)

A notice under paragraph (1) must specify the date by which the supporting evidence is to be provided.

(3)

Where a person fails to comply with the requirements of a notice given in accordance with paragraph (1), the authority may withhold the whole or part of any amount that they consider to be payable under the Scheme.
