Part 1: Public Service Pension Schemes Chapter 1: Schemes other than Judicial Schemes and Local Government Schemes Section 34: Meaning of "new scheme benefits"
This section defines "new scheme benefits" for remediable service for this Chapter.
	Where a member has remediable service and elects to receive new scheme benefits, they are entitled to receive benefits that are the same as those that would have been payable in relation to that service had they been a member of the new scheme. For example, where a member with remediable service retires at age 64 they would be entitled, if they elect for new scheme benefits, to receive the same benefits in relation to that service as would have been paid from the new scheme at that time (with a fair adjustment to reflect the fact they were being paid before the member’s NPA if that is higher than age 64 in the new scheme). Where a member with remediable service retires and elects for new scheme benefits, but would not have been entitled to the immediate payment of new scheme benefits at that time (for example, where they retired before the new scheme minimum pension age) but would be entitled to a deferred new scheme pension instead, then they would be entitled to a benefit equal to that deferred benefit.
	Where benefits are paid in relation to remediable service, they are paid from the legacy scheme regardless of whether a member makes an election for new scheme benefits or not.
