EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Church of England Pensions Regulations 1988 which apply in relation to the Church of England Pensions Scheme (“the Past Service Scheme”). The amendments they make are to take account of the fact that a member of the Past Service Scheme may be entitled to give up pension for an additional lump sum. The pension of a deceased member who had given up pension in this way will, for the purpose of calculating the pension to be paid to his/her widow/widower or minor children, be the pension that the member would have been receiving (or to which he or she would have been entitled) if he or she had not given up pension for an additional lump sum.
