PSI24.2.5 - Pension Credit Benefits – Limits on Benefits payable to ex-spouse – Lump sums - ex-spouse also an employee member


(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)

[PN6A.19]

Where an ex-spouse member also has benefit rights in the same scheme as a result of being an employee member and the scheme does not provide for the separate treatment of the pension credit benefit and employee benefit rights (see PSI24.1.7), the lump sum from the pension credit rights must be aggregated with the lump sum from the employee benefit rights. The total amount must not exceed the normal Revenue lump sum limit that applies to the employee membership.
