Section 34 Meaning of “new scheme benefits”C1C2C3C4C5I1I2
United Kingdom
Subsection (2) defines “new scheme benefits” in relation to the remediable service in an employment or office of a member of a Chapter 1 legacy scheme that is pensionable service under the scheme (whether or not by virtue of section 2(1)).
“New scheme benefits” means the benefits that would be payable to or in respect of the member if the remediable service were pensionable service under the relevant Chapter 1 new scheme.
Where—
by virtue of section 6 or 10, the benefits payable to or in respect of a member of a Chapter 1 legacy scheme, so far as they are determined by reference to the member’s remediable service, are new scheme benefits, and
the corresponding benefits, if payable under the relevant Chapter 1 new scheme, would have been payable only on the meeting of a condition (for example that the member attains a particular age or makes a particular election),
the new scheme benefits are payable under the Chapter 1 legacy scheme to or in respect of the member only on the meeting of that condition.
In this section “the relevant Chapter 1 new scheme”, in relation to a Chapter 1 legacy scheme, means the Chapter 1 new scheme that is connected with the Chapter 1 legacy scheme.
This section has effect for the purposes of this Chapter.
