The State Pension and Occupational Pension Schemes (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2016
These Regulations introduce further detailed rules relating to the new state pension. The Pensions Act 2014 (c.19) (“the 2014 Act”) creates the new state pension for people reaching pensionable age on or after 6th April 2016 (see Part 1 of that Act). It replaces the existing state pension for those people.
