Propose a change

The Armed Forces Pension Regulations 2014

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

As published

89 Payments under this Part

(1) Except where specified otherwise in this Part, a pension under this Part is payable from the day after the date of the member’s death. (2) Payments of a lump sum payable under this Part must be made before the expiry of the period of 2 years beginning with the earlier of— (a) the day on which the scheme manager first knew of the member’s death; and (b) the day on which the scheme manager could reasonably be expected to have known of the member’s death. (3) The annual amount of pension paid to a person under this Part is to be increased by such amount as the scheme manager, after consulting with the scheme actuary, may determine, if— (a) the scheme manager has determined that a lump sum should be paid to the person under this Part, but the lump sum is not paid within 2 years of the date of the death; or (b) the scheme manager has determined that, but for paragraph (1), a lump sum would have been paid to the person. (4) Unless the scheme manager directs otherwise, a pension payable under this Part in respect of an eligible child aged under 18 is to be paid— (a) if the child is in the care of the member’s surviving spouse or civil partner or a person who is the member’s surviving adult dependant for the purposes of regulation 64 (other adult dependants’ pensions), to the surviving spouse or civil partner or the adult dependant; and (b) in any other case, to the child’s guardian.

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
