Part 1: Public Service Pension Schemes Chapter 1: Schemes other than Judicial Schemes and Local Government Schemes Section 28: Scheme rules that prohibit unauthorised payments
This section is designed to override any scheme rules that prevent an unauthorised payment being made where such a payment is permitted or required by this Act, where Treasury directions so provide. For example, schemes may be required to make payments in respect of underpaid lump sum benefits by virtue of section 13 that could be unauthorised payments due to the passage of time between the original lump sum being paid and the further payment.
