This section has no associated Policy Notes
169.—(1) Where a benefit is being paid to a person (P), the scheme manager may at any time require that evidence be provided, by such date as the scheme manager may specify, to establish—
(a)the identity of P; and
(b)P’s continuing entitlement to the benefit.
(2) If the evidence is not provided by the date specified, the scheme manager may withhold the whole or any part of the benefit.
(3) If a benefit ceases to be payable because P ceases to meet the incapacity condition or ceases to meet the total incapacity condition, the power in paragraph (1)(b) may be exercised so as to require P to provide evidence that there has been no such cessation.
