RPSM03304130 - Scheme Administrator Pages: Protecting pension rights from tax charges: Benefit payments - tax-free lump sum over 25%: Information to member

What information do I need to give the member?

The payment of a pension commencement lump sum or a stand-alone lump sum is a benefit crystallisation event. So just like any other benefit crystallisation you will need to provide the member with a statement showing what percentage of the standard lifetime allowance has been used up.

This statement should be given to the member within 3 months of the lump sum payment. Further information can be found at RPSM12303030.
