Part 1: Public Service Pension Schemes Chapter 2: Judicial Schemes Section 57: Pension credit members
This section refers to divorced members where a pension sharing order has been made in respect of a public service pension as part of the financial settlement. Scheme regulations may make provision about the benefits payable to the potential pension credit member and the pension debit member.
	Section 57(4) provides a power for scheme regulations to adjust the pension credit with the aim of providing the most valuable benefits to the pension credit member.
	Section 57(5) addresses the position of pension debit members who may have a combination of 2015 and legacy scheme benefits. Scheme regulations must provide that pension credit members retain benefits based on either the legacy scheme or the 2015 scheme benefits but not a mix of both. This is consistent with the approach taken to mixed service generally (see section 47).
	The section defines a pension credit member as a person in a scheme with rights attributable to a pension credit. This is because the judicial legacy scheme does not use the term pension credit member.
