Article 33(2)

PART II CHILDREN’S AWARDS

1.  This Part has effect for the calculation of a child’s ordinary allowance where—

(a) the deceased was the child’s father;

(b) on lst October 1973 he was serving as a regular firefighter or was entitled to a pension other than a deferred pension; and

(c) no payments election (within the meaning of paragraph 1 of Part I ) was made.

2.  The amount of an ordinary allowance is the appropriate percentage (within the meaning of paragraph 1 of Part I of Schedule 4) of the amount described in paragraph 3.

3.  The amount mentioned in paragraph 2 is the difference between (A + B) and C, where—

A is 1/60th of the deceased’s average pensionable pay multiplied by the period in years of his pensionable service up to 20 years,

B is 2/60ths of his average pensionable pay multiplied by the period in years by which his pensionable service exceeds 20 years, and

C is (A + B) calculated by reference only to pre-1972 pensionable service (within the meaning of paragraph 4 of Part I),

but where the deceased’s pensionable service exceeds 30 years the excess is to be deducted—

(a) from his pensionable service in calculating A and B; and

(b) from his pre-1972 pensionable service in calculating C.
