Interim payments directions103
1
If—
a
a person leaves an employment in which that person was a member of the Scheme because of an offence in connection with that employment; and
b
a forfeiture certificate has been issued under regulation 102(1) (forfeiture of pension rights after conviction for employment-related offences) in respect of that offence,
the former employing authority may give an interim payments direction to the Committee.
2
But that former employing authority may not give such a direction under paragraph (1) if it has given any direction under regulation 102(4) (“a forfeiture direction”).
3
An interim payments direction is a direction to make interim payments to any person who appears to the former employing authority to be a person who would be entitled to receive payment of a benefit under the Scheme if no forfeiture direction were given.
4
The person to whom payments shall be made, and the amounts, shall be specified in the direction.
5
The amounts shall not exceed the amounts which the person specified would be entitled to be paid if no forfeiture direction were given.
6
An interim payments direction is not a decision under regulation 80 (first instance decisions - general) as to any person's entitlement to a benefit.
7
Payments in accordance with an interim payments direction shall be deemed to be payments in respect of a benefit to which the recipient was entitled (regardless of any contrary forfeiture direction or decision under regulation 80).
