29.—(1) This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member with continuity of service who—
(a)becomes entitled to an ill-health pension under this scheme; and

(b)an ill-health pension is payable under this scheme in accordance with this paragraph; and
(c)the member becomes a deferred member of the PCSPS(NI).
(3) If the member meets the lower tier payment threshold only, the annual rate of ill-health pension payable under this scheme is the sum of—
(a)the annual rate of a lower tier earned pension payable under this scheme;
(b)the annual rate of full retirement earned pension that would, if the member was entitled to payment of an ill-health pension under the PCSPS(NI), be payable to the member at normal pension age under the PCSPS(NI); and

(ii)rule 3.1(b) of Section II of that scheme.

(5) If, after the ill-health pension becomes payable under this paragraph, a transfer payment is made from the PCSPS(NI) in respect of the member’s rights under that scheme, the scheme manager must deduct from the amount of ill-health pension payable under this paragraph in respect of service in the PCSPS(NI) an amount which is equal to the value of the pension represented by that transfer payment.
(6) If the full retirement account specifies an amount of full retirement added pension of any description, the following pensions are payable with the lower tier earned pension—
(a)the annual rate of full retirement added pension of that description payable under this scheme; and
(b)the annual rate of full retirement added pension that would, if the member was entitled to payment of an ill-health pension under the PCSPS(NI), be payable to the member with that pension under the PCSPS(NI).
(7) The amount of pension payable under this paragraph which represents the amount that would have been payable under the PCSPS(NI) is subject to the same conditions, and ceases to be payable in the same circumstances, as the pension to which the member would have been entitled under the PCSPS(NI) in accordance with the rules of that scheme.
(8) In this paragraph—

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