Paragraph 2 I1
Northern Ireland Not yet in force
Where—
a provision of these Regulations (“the new provision”) re-enacts with any modification a provision revoked by these Regulations (“the former provision”); and
the effect of the general rule is that a person to whom a protected benefit was being paid or might become payable is placed in a worse position than he would have been in if the former provision had continued to have effect,
he may by giving written notice to the Department within 3 months after 2nd November 1998 elect that the new provision is to apply in relation to the benefit as if it had re-enacted the former provision without modification.
A protected benefit is one paid, or capable of becoming payable, to or in respect of a person who before 2nd November 1998 ceased to be in pensionable employment or died.
