Mine was duly prepared, signed by me and "countersigned" today by Young Mister Grace.
I don't understand, given the provisions in the "Memorandum of Understanding between the Department for Work and Pensions, the Pensions Regulator and the Pension Protection Fund" that DWP require another "Life Certificate" given that I submitted one to PPF in November last.
Their Memorandum of Understanding states:
"Purpose
1. This memorandum of understanding establishes a trilateral framework for co-operation between the Department for Work and Pensions, the Pensions Regulator and the Board of the Pension Protection Fund in the field of pension regulation and protection. It sets out the role of each body and explains how they will work together towards the
common objective of pension security. The division of responsibilities is based on four guiding principles:
• clear accountability. Each body must be accountable for its actions, so each must have unambiguous and well- defined responsibilities;
• transparency. Parliament, the pensions community and the public must know what each body is responsible for;
• no duplication. Each body must have a clearly defined role, to avoid second guessing, inefficiency and the duplication of effort. This will help ensure proper accountability;
and
• regular and appropriate information exchange. This will help each body to discharge its responsibilities as efficiently and effectively as possible."
