Regulation 58 Indirect compensationI1

This regulation applies where, pursuant to an application under regulation 59, the scheme manager determines that an immediate choice member (“M”) has incurred a compensatable loss^f1 that is a Part 4 tax loss^f2 (a “relevant loss”).

M is not to be paid an amount under section 23 of PSPJOA 2022 by way of compensation in respect of the relevant loss.

Instead, the amount of benefit payable under a firefighters’ pension scheme is to be increased to reflect the amount of the relevant loss in such manner as determined by the scheme manager in accordance with direction 10(2) to (4) of the PSP(NI) Directions 2023.
