The Pension Schemes Act 2015 (Transitional Provisions and Appropriate Independent Advice) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2017

These Regulations amend the Pension Schemes Act 2015 (Transitional Provisions and Appropriate Independent Advice) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/742) (“the Advice Regulations”), which relate to the requirement in section 48 of the Pension Schemes Act 2015 (c. 8) (“the 2015 Act”) that the trustees or managers of a pension scheme must check that a member or survivor has received appropriate independent advice before carrying out certain transactions. The requirement applies to a member’s or survivor’s “safeguarded benefits”, meaning benefits which are neither money purchase benefits nor cash balance benefits as defined in pensions legislation. These Regulations also make transitional provision in connection with the coming into force of those amendments.
