Current unsecured pension year to become drawdown pension year

89(1)This paragraph applies in the case of a person who, immediately before 6 April 2011, was entitled to unsecured pension.

(2)Where the last unsecured pension year began on or after 7 April 2010, the reference in paragraph 9(1)(a) of Schedule 28 to FA 2004 (drawdown pension year) to the day on which the member first becomes entitled to drawdown pension is to be read as a reference to the day on which that unsecured pension year began.

(3)Accordingly, any unsecured pension year which began on or after 7 April 2010 is to be regarded, on and after 6 April 2011, as a drawdown pension year.

(4)In this paragraph and paragraphs 90 and 91 “the last unsecured pension year” means the unsecured pension year in which 5 April 2011 fell.
