Is it possible to convert a ‘non-reversionary’ pension to ‘reversionary’ following the commencement of the pension (in relation to an ABP)?

If it is permitted under the trust deed, an ABP may subsequently be made reversionary after it has commenced to be paid. You should check the trust deed to ensure that conversion of the reversionary nature of a pension following its commencement is allowed. If it is permitted, you may request that a ‘non-reversionary’ pension become reversionary to a reversionary beneficiary by notifying the Trustee and otherwise complying with the requirements of the trust deed.
