The circumstances in which commutation is possible are set out in Regulation 19 of the Pension Protection Fund (Compensation) Regulations 2005 and Regulation 21 sets out how this option may be exercised.
This applies to amounts due to a pension scheme in respect of: dividends from insolvent estates guarantee payments in respect of pension scheme employer liabilities, and loans notes in respect of restructuring deals If the pension scheme is still in assessment when a payment is due or has completed assessment and exited the PPF, please make sure the payment is sent to the trustees of the appropriate pension scheme.
