The claimant had the benefit of a pension sharing order but had not yet reached the age when, under the impugned provision, payment of the pension can be made to her yet her ex-husband is being paid his share notwithstanding, as I understand it, that he is only about 50 years old. She sought judicial review of the decision by the respondent not to make payment to her of any share of the sums paid to her former husnband.
Held: The request for a review was denied: ‘I simply do not see how a pension sharing order converts the sum payable to the Claimant under the order to pay.’
