5 Payment be made from the scheme as indicated. If more than one transfer payment is being made, I agree to any such adjustments to the split as Trustees of the scheme may think necessary and appropriate for one payment to cover all accrued GMPs(Guaranteed Minimum Pensions) (unless they are excluded) and for the aggregated payments to be equal to the total transfer amount available. I understand that the total transfer payment(s) will be or include the cash equivalent of all benefits otherwise payable under the scheme to me and my family and dependants (except accrued GMPs if a Receiving Arrangement is not accepting liability for them and/or benefits accrued before 6 April 1988 if I opted out of the fund without leaving employment.)
6 I understand and agree that the benefits of the Receiving Arrangement may be different in type, form and amount from those of the Transferring Scheme. I understand that the benefits of a buy-out policy cannot exceed the maximum benefits which HM Revenue and Customs would permit to be paid under the scheme and that the benefits of a buy-out policy or personal Pension scheme will be taken in to account in calculating overall maximum benefits from any other occupational Pension scheme I may join. I confirm that this request is made of my own choice and that neither the Trustees of the scheme nor any employers which have participated in the scheme are in any way responsible for any representation or advice given by any provider, administrator, broker, consultant or other person in relation to this or any other Receiving Arrangement.
7 I understand and agree that, after the transfer payment(s) have been made, neither I nor my family or dependants will have any entitlements under the scheme by reason of my membership or as specifically defined in the Certificate of Deferred Benefits issued by the scheme and I shall indemnify the Trustees against any claims which may then be made arising from my membership or in connection with the transfer payment(s) or the Receiving Arrangement (except that the scheme may still be liable for GMPs and/or benefits accrued before 6 April 1988 if they are excluded from the present transfer (s) and are not the subject of subsequent transfers or State Scheme Premiums).
8 I confirm that the Trustees of the Rolls-Royce UK Pension fund have made me aware of the Government s Pension Wise guidance service. Where the Law does not require me to take appropriate independent advice, I confirm that I have either: (i) obtained independent financial advice and wish to proceed with the transfer request or; (ii) have decided not to obtain any such advice but wish to proceed with the transfer request in any event Member Signature _____ Date _____ Member s current address Pension LIBERATION FRAUD IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MEMBERS HM Revenue and Customs have an active programme to tackle all attempted misuse or abuse of the Pension tax rules and are taking action to deter and pursue those who promote Pension liberation schemes .
9 They are Page 3 of 6 Version proactively liaising with scheme administrators and will de-register Pension schemes where the rules are not adhered to. HMRC is taking firm action and applying tax charges wherever there is abuse of Pension tax relief but it is far more important that individuals recognise the dangers of entering into these schemes and don t put their retirement savings at risk in the first place. HMRC want to ensure that individuals with Pension savings are protected so that those savings are available to provide an income for the individual later in their life.

This includes ensuring that the paperwork for proceeding transfers is carefully scrutinised.
