Application for a statement of entitlement
180.—(1) This regulation applies in relation to a deferred member of this scheme (P) who requires a transfer payment to be made in respect of P’s accrued rights to benefits under this scheme.
(2) Before requesting the transfer payment, P must apply for a statement of entitlement by written notice to the scheme manager.
(3) P may withdraw the application by written notice to the scheme manager at any time before the statement is provided.
(4) P may make a second application by written notice to the scheme manager in the period of 12 months beginning with the date of the first application(1).
This provision overrides regulation 6(3) of the Occupational Pension Schemes (Transfer Values) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996(SR 1996 No. 619) which provides that a member may not make a second application within this period unless the rules of the scheme provide otherwise.
