Regulation 3 amends the 2014 Regulations with regard to death grant provisions relating to all members of the scheme governed by those Regulations. The effect of the amendments is to clarify that payment of death grant by the scheme manager is at the discretion of the scheme manager.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on business or civil society organisations.
