Original consultation

Consultation description

The Pensions Act 2014 provided for an increased compensation cap for long service. This consultation concerns the changes needed to secondary legislation to ensure that the cap operates as intended in all situations.

The commencement order and the transitional provisions order are necessary for the coming into force of the primary legislation. They are included here for information only – the government is not consulting on them.
