Regulation N5 Decisions by employing authorities as to benefits

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

(1)

Any question whether a person is entitled to a benefit under these Regulations is to be decided by the employing authority employing the person in respect of whose employment the question arises.

(2)

For the purposes of paragraph (1) “benefit” includes a return of contributions but does not include a benefit specified in Part L or regulation F6(11) or (15).

(3)

Any such question as is mentioned in paragraph (1) is to be decided as soon as is reasonably practicable after the cessation of the employment or, as the case may be, the death of the employee.
