Consultation description

This consultation seeks views on proposed amendments to the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Conditions for Transfers) Regulations 2021. Amendments include a targeted measure to address the risk of fraud within Small Self Administered Schemes (SSASs) and marks the first stage in a broader programme of work relating to pension scams and pension transfers.
