Benefits secured by an individual bought-out policy in the
name of the employee or ex-spouse (see
PSI24.1.11) or by a policy
assigned to the employee on leaving service may also be commuted
because of serious ill health if the Life office has made
satisfactory arrangements for payment of any tax liability (see
PSI17.2.24).
