The Social Security (Exemption from Claiming Retirement Pension) Regulations 2010
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1968). They add a further category of case in which it will not be a condition of entitlement to benefit that a claim be made. A person will not need to make a claim for a Category A or B retirement pension where they have received a notification from the Secretary of State that no claim is required, except where the person defers their entitlement to such a pension or elects to be treated as having not retired.
