### Choice between increase of pension and lump sum where pensioner’s entitlement is deferred
##### A1
- (1) Where a person’s entitlement to a Category A or Category B retirement pension is deferred and the period of deferment is at least 12 months, the person shall, on claiming his pension or within a prescribed period after claiming it, elect in the prescribed manner either—
- (a) that paragraph 1 (entitlement to increase of pension) is to apply in relation to the period of deferment, or
- (b) that paragraph 3A (entitlement to lump sum) is to apply in relation to the period of deferment.
- (2) If no election under sub-paragraph (1) is made within the period prescribed under that sub-paragraph, the person is to be treated as having made an election under sub-paragraph (1)(b).
- (3) Regulations—
- (a) may enable a person who has made an election under sub-paragraph (1) (including one that the person is treated by sub-paragraph (2) as having made) to change the election within a prescribed period and in a prescribed manner, if prescribed conditions are satisfied, and
- (b) if they enable a person to make an election under sub-paragraph (1)(b) in respect of a period of deferment after receiving any increase of pension under paragraph 1 by reference to that period, may for the purpose of avoiding duplication of payment—
- (i) enable an amount determined in accordance with the regulations to be recovered from the person in a prescribed manner and within a prescribed period, or
- (ii) provide for an amount determined in accordance with the regulations to be treated as having been paid on account of the amount to which the person is entitled under paragraph 3A.
- (4) Where the Category A or Category B retirement pension includes any increase under paragraphs 5 to 6A, no election under sub-paragraph (1) applies to so much of the pension as consists of that increase (an entitlement to an increase of pension in respect of such an increase after a period of deferment being conferred either by paragraphs 1 and 2 or by paragraph 2A).
##### 2A
- (1) This paragraph applies where—
- (a) a person’s entitlement to a Category A or Category B retirement pension is deferred,

- (c) the person has made (or is treated as having made) an election under paragraph A1(1)(b) in relation to the period of deferment.
- (2) The rate of the person’s Category A or Category B retirement pension shall be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate of the increments to which he is entitled under sub-paragraph (3).
- (3) For each complete incremental period in the person’s period of deferment, the amount of the increment shall be 1/5th per cent. of the weekly rate of the increase to which the person would have been entitled under paragraphs 5 to 6A for the period if his entitlement to the Category A or Category B retirement pension had not been deferred.
### Lump sum where pensioner’s entitlement is deferred
##### 3A
- (1) This paragraph applies where—
- (a) a person’s entitlement to a Category A or Category B retirement pension is deferred, and
- (b) the person has made (or is treated as having made) an election under paragraph A1(1)(b) in relation to the period of deferment.
- (2) The person is entitled to an amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 3B (a “lump sum”).
### Calculation of lump sum
##### 3B
- (1) The lump sum is the accrued amount for the last accrual period beginning during the period of deferment.
- (2) In this paragraph—
- “accrued amount” means the amount calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (3);
- “accrual period” means any period of seven days beginning with a prescribed day of the week, where that day falls within the period of deferment.
- (3) The accrued amount for an accrual period for a person is—
$$(A+P)×52(1+R100)$where—A is the accrued amount for the previous accrual period (or, in the case of the first accrual period beginning during the period of deferment, zero);P is the amount of the Category A or Category B retirement pension to which the person would have been entitled for the accrual period if his entitlement had not been deferred;R is—a percentage rate 2 per cent. higher than the Bank of England base rate, orsuch higher rate as may be prescribed in regulations under paragraph 7C(2).$
- (4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), any change in the Bank of England base rate is to be treated as taking effect—
- (a) at the beginning of the accrual period immediately following the accrual period during which the change took effect, or
- (b) if regulations so provide, at such other time as may be prescribed.
- (5) For the purposes of the calculation of the lump sum, the amount of Category A or Category B retirement pension to which the person would have been entitled for an accrual period—
- (a) includes any increase under section 47(1) and any increase under paragraph 4 of this Schedule, but
- (b) does not include—
- (i) any increase under section 83A or 85 or paragraphs 5 to 6A of this Schedule,
- (ii) any graduated retirement benefit, or
- (iii) in prescribed circumstances, such other amount of Category A or Category B retirement pension as may be prescribed.
- (6) The reference in sub-paragraph (5)(a) to any increase under subsection (1) of section 47 shall be taken as a reference to any increase that would take place under that subsection if subsection (2) of that section and section 42(5) of the Pensions Act were disregarded.
### Choice between increase of pension and lump sum where pensioner’s deceased spouse or civil partner has deferred entitlement
##### 3C

- (2) W shall within the prescribed period elect in the prescribed manner either—
- (a) that paragraph 4 (entitlement to increase of pension) is to apply in relation to S’s period of deferment, or
- (b) that paragraph 7A (entitlement to lump sum) is to apply in relation to S’s period of deferment.
- (3) If no election under sub-paragraph (2) is made within the period prescribed under that sub-paragraph, W is to be treated as having made an election under sub-paragraph (2)(b).
- (4) Regulations—
- (a) may enable a person who has made an election under sub-paragraph (2) (including one that the person is treated by sub-paragraph (3) as having made) to change the election within a prescribed period and in a prescribed manner, if prescribed conditions are satisfied, and
- (b) if they enable a person to make an election under sub-paragraph (2)(b) in respect of a period of deferment after receiving any increase of pension under paragraph 4 by reference to that period, may for the purpose of avoiding duplication of payment—
- (i) enable an amount determined in accordance with the regulations to be recovered from the person in a prescribed manner and within a prescribed period, or
- (ii) provide for an amount determined in accordance with the regulations to be treated as having been paid on account of the amount to which the person is entitled under paragraph 7A.
- (5) The making of an election under sub-paragraph (2)(b) does not affect the application of paragraphs 5 to 6A (which relate to an increase in pension where the pensioner’s deceased spouse or civil partner had deferred an entitlement to a guaranteed minimum pension).
### Entitlement to lump sum where pensioner’s deceased spouse or civil partner has deferred entitlement
##### 7A

- (4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), any change in the Bank of England base rate is to be treated as taking effect—
- (a) at the beginning of the accrual period immediately following the accrual period during which the change took effect, or
- (b) if regulations so provide, at such other time as may be prescribed.
