Regulation 7 Benefits other than short service benefit

This regulation applies where a scheme provides so that a member becomes entitled to benefit when his pensionable service terminates before normal pension age, even if the member does not become entitled to short service benefit.

For the purposes of F1section 129 of the Act as it applies as respects Chapter II of Part IV of the Act, any provision contained in the scheme that would be a protected provision in relation to short service benefit is to be treated as a protected provision in relation to any benefit to which a member becomes entitled as described in paragraph (1) above. Section 129 is modified accordingly.
