The Pension Protection Fund (Pensionable Service) and Occupational Pension Schemes (Investment and Disclosure) (Amendment and Modification) Regulations 2018

The Board of the Pension Protection Fund (“the Board”) is established by section 107 of the Pensions Act 2004 (c. 35) (“the 2004 Act”) to provide compensation for members of certain occupational pension schemes in the event of the insolvency of the scheme's sponsoring employer, where the pension scheme is underfunded below a certain level. The compensation payable to individual members is determined in accordance with Schedule 7 to the 2004 Act and regulations made under it, including the Pension Protection Fund (Compensation) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/670) (“the Compensation Regulations”). These Regulations make amendments to the Compensation Regulations to insert provisions modifying the effect of Schedule 7 to the 2004 Act in relation to certain schemes.
