Subject to subregulation (4), the form in which preserved benefits may be cashed under this regulation is:

the form (if any) specified in the cashing restriction for preserved benefits set out in Schedule 1 in relation to the relevant condition of release; or

if that cashing restriction is ‘Nil’—a lump sum or 2 or more lump sums.

A lump sum mentioned in paragraph (3)(b) must be payable not later than the time for the payment of a lump sum mentioned in subregulation 6.25(2).
