The Local Government Pension Scheme (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 2015
These Regulations make miscellaneous amendments to “the Main Regulations” which constitute the Local Government Pension Scheme in Scotland (namely the Local Government Pension Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2014) and to the transitional and savings provisions in relation to that scheme contained in the Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions and Savings) (Scotland) Regulations 2014 (“the Transitional and Savings Regulations 2014”). They also make amendments to the Local Government Pension Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 1998 and the Local Government Pension Scheme (Benefits, Membership and Contributions) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 to allow for survivor benefits to be payable in relation to survivors of same sex marriages under old schemes which are carried over into the 2015 Scheme. A consequential change is also made to the Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions) (Scotland) Regulations 2008.
