Payments that are known to be unauthorised when made
A genuine error that occurred as part of the administration of a registered pension scheme might mean that it is known that, if it is paid, a payment that is due to be made will be an unauthorised payment. The circumstances might be such that, had it not been for the genuine error, the payment would have been an authorised payment. Despite the genuine error that occurred, if the payment is made, it would be an unauthorised payment.
Example A defined benefits lump sum death benefit must be paid within a two year deadline (see RPSM10105110). However, due to an error within the administration department of the pension scheme, the payment is not made by that deadline. If the lump sum is paid after the deadline it will not be a defined benefits lump sum death benefit and (unless it falls within the definition of one of the other authorised lump sum death benefits) will be an unauthorised member payment.
