England, Wales and Scotland

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

(1)

The lump sum is the accrued amount for the last accrual period beginning during the period of deferment.

(2)

In this paragraph—

  • ‘accrued amount’ means the amount calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (3);

  • ‘accrual period’ means any period of seven days beginning with a prescribed day of the week, where that day falls within the period of deferment.

(3)

The accrued amount for an accrual period for a person is—

(A+P)×(1+R100)52

where—

  • A is the accrued amount for the previous accrual period (or, in the case of the first accrual period beginning during the period of deferment, zero);

  • P is the amount of the Category A or Category B retirement pension to which the person would have been entitled for the accrual period if his entitlement had not been deferred;

  • R is—

    1. (a)

      a percentage rate two per cent. higher than the Bank of England base rate, or

    2. (b)

      if regulations so provide, such higher rate as may be prescribed.

(4)

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), any change in the Bank of England base rate is to be treated as taking effect—

(a)

at the beginning of the accrual period immediately following the accrual period during which the change took effect, or

(b)

if regulations so provide, at such other time as may be prescribed.

(5)

For the purposes of the calculation of the lump sum, the amount of Category A or Category B retirement pension to which the person would have been entitled for an accrual period—

(a)

includes any increase under section 47(1) and any increase under paragraph 4 of this Schedule, but

(b)

does not include—

(i)

any increase under section 83A or 85 or F2paragraphs 5 to 6A of this Schedule,

(ii)

any graduated retirement benefit, or

(iii)

in prescribed circumstances, such other amount of Category A or Category B retirement pension as may be prescribed.

(6)

The reference in sub-paragraph (5)(a) to any increase under subsection (1) of section 47 shall be taken as a reference to any increase that would take place under that subsection if subsection (2) of that section and section 46(5) of the Pensions Act were disregarded.
