# The Teachers' Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 1993, Paragraph 2


(1) Where–
(a) a provision of these Regulations (“the new provision”) re-enacts with any modification a provision revoked by these Regulations (“the former provision”); and
(b) 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 Secretary of State ⅔ within 3 months after the date on which these Regulations come into force elect that the new provision is to apply in relation to the benefit as if it had re-enacted the former provision without modification.
(2) A protected benefit is one paid, or capable of becoming payable, to or in respect of a person who before the date on which these Regulations come into force ceased to be in pensionable employment or died.
