The consultation published on 10 April 2019 sought views on the draft regulations to implement this policy. An impact assessment was conducted and published in the 2016 consultation ahead of the primary legislation. Following the current consultation, a further equalities assessment will be conducted on the final version of the legislation.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The government believes it is right to include all payments related to exit within the cap. The cap does not affect any pension that a person has earned through their years of service or have any impact on accrued pension rights. Instead the cap ensures that any additional contribution to that pension made by the employer to fund early access to a pension is limited to no more than £95,000, on account these costs are ultimately funded by the taxpayer.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>We accept that there will be some circumstances where it will be necessary or desirable to relax the cap. As such, a waiver system will be in place for use in exceptional situations, including where imposing the cap would cause genuine hardship.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>At the request of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), HM Treasury officials met with the TUC and their members during the consultation period.

Whilst the assessment doesn\u2019t focus on<br>affordability, which would be a very subjective matter, it does include <br>estimates of price elasticity. Policy Equality Statements are prepared alongside proposed fee changes.<\/p><p>The relevant information can be found via the following link:<\/p><p><a href=\"http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2018/59/pdfs/ukia_20180059_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2018/59/pdfs/ukia_20180059_en.pdf<\/a><\/p><p>Additionally, the Home Office keeps its fees for immigration and nationality under regular review and changes to individual charges need to be made with a view to maintaining the overall purpose of the fees and charging legislation.<\/p><p>The Home Office constantly strives to achieve the right balance between ensuring that individuals are able to obtain status in the UK and access appropriate services, without adding burden to the taxpayer.<\/p><p>Applying for British nationality is not mandatory and many individuals who have settlement/ indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status choose not to apply. This is because, in addition to lawful permanent residence in the UK, a person with indefinite leave to remain has full access to the UK labour market, education, healthcare and the ability to sponsor family members\u2019 residence in the UK.<\/p><p>The Home Office also provides for exceptions to the need to pay application fees for limited and indefinite leave to remain, in a number of specific<br>circumstances. These exceptions ensure that the Home Office\u2019s immigration and nationality fee structure complies with international obligations, including in relation to refugees and persons deriving rights under the ECHR and wider government policy and the protection of vulnerable children, such as those in Local Authority (LA) care.<\/p>"}
