17A.—(1) Subject to paragraph (3), during an assessment period in relation to an eligible scheme, benefits in the form of a lump sum may be paid to a member under the scheme rules in the circumstances specified in paragraph (2).
(2) The circumstances specified for the purpose of paragraph (1) are that, before the beginning of the assessment period in relation to the scheme, the member has—
(a)a right or entitlement under the scheme rules in respect of flexible benefits (as defined by section 74 of the Pension Schemes Act 2015) that are not money purchase benefits;
(b)notified the trustees or managers of the scheme that the member wishes to exercise an option under the scheme rules to be paid an uncrystallised funds pension lump sum (as defined by paragraph 4A of Schedule 29 to the Finance Act 2004) in respect of those benefits (or a portion of them); and
(c)complied with any requirements, and satisfied any conditions, to which the exercise of that option is subject.
(3) A lump sum shall not be paid by virtue of this regulation unless the trustees or managers of the scheme—
(a)are satisfied that to do so is consistent with the objective of ensuring that the scheme’s protected liabilities do not exceed its assets or, if they do exceed its assets, that the excess is kept to a minimum; and
(b)reduce the amount of the lump sum to the extent necessary to ensure that it does not exceed the actuarial equivalent of the compensation that would be payable to the member in respect of the benefits (or the portion of them) in respect of which the lump sum is paid in accordance with the pension compensation provisions, if the Board were to assume responsibility for the scheme in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 2 of the Act.
(4) For the purpose of paragraph (3)(b) the actuarial equivalent of the compensation that would be payable is to be calculated from tables designated by the Board for the purpose of paragraph 24(4) (commutation of periodic compensation) of Schedule 7 to the Act.]
