SCHEDULE 2Transitional provisions

PART 5Payment of ill-health benefits to transition members with continuity of service

Transition member who has reached normal pension age under the PCSPS(NI)

30.—(1) This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member with continuity of service who is receiving payment of an ill-health pension in accordance with paragraph 29.

(2) When the member reaches normal pension age under the PCSPS(NI)—

(a)the benefits payable under paragraph 29 in respect of service in the PCSPS(NI) cease to be payable under this scheme; and

(b)the member becomes entitled under the PCSPS(NI) to the immediate payment of a full retirement earned pension within the meaning of paragraph 29, in accordance with the rules of that scheme.

(3) In calculating the annual rate of full retirement earned pension payable under the PCSPS(NI) for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(b), the following are subtracted—

(a)the commutation amount (if any);

(b)the amount of pension which is equivalent to a lump sum, paid under paragraph 29(3)(c) or 29(4)(d); and

(c)an amount equal to any transfer payment made to another scheme before the member reached normal pension age under the PCSPS(NI).

(4) Before the amounts in sub-paragraph (3)(a) and (b) are subtracted they must be increased by the amount by which the annual rate of a pension of that amount would have been increased under the 1971 Act if—

(a)that pension was eligible to be so increased; and

(b)the beginning date for that pension was the date that ill-health pension became payable under this scheme.
