PSI6.3.26 - Total Benefits On Retirement At Normal Retirement Age: Normal Retirement Age - Variable NRDs - Other Methods


(This archived guidance relates to HMRC discretionary practice before the 6th April 2006. For current guidance on Registered Pension Schemes see the Registered Pension Schemes Manual)

(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)

Any proposal to adopt arrangements to provide flexible NRDs other than as described in the earlier paragraphs of this Section should be considered critically. A variable NRD geared to the completion of a particular length of service, for example, is not acceptable because it could, depending upon the length of service required and the benefit accrual rate, give a full 2/3rds benefit before age 50. Submit any such proposal to the Section Manager.
