Accepting an additional pension election

59.—(1) The scheme manager may accept an additional pension election by giving written notice to—

(a) the member (M); and

(b) M’s employing authority.

(2) The scheme manager may refuse to accept an election if there are reasonable grounds to believe—

(a) that M is not in good health at the time the election is made; or

(b) in the case of an election where the contributions are to be made by periodic payments, that M’s health is likely to prevent the payment of contributions for the whole of the contributions payment period.

(3) For the purposes of these Regulations, an additional pension election is accepted when M receives notice from the scheme manager.
