Paragraph 38 Commutation of whole of pension credit benefitsI1

F1Where the amount of pension payable under this Part does not exceed the trivial commutation lump sum limit in paragraph 7 of Schedule 29 to the Finance Act 2004 (lump sum rule), the Board may with the agreement of the pension credit member, commute for a lump sum the whole of the pension to which a pension credit member is entitled under article 37 if, after commutation, the lump sum would be a trivial commutation lump sum death benefit within the meaning of paragraph 20 of Schedule 29 to the Finance Act 2004.

The lump sum commuted under paragraph (1) is the actuarial equivalent of the pension at normal benefit age, calculated from tables prepared by the Scheme Actuary.
