G9.—(1) If a female member elected, before 1st July 1989, to buy an increased widower’s pension, the widower’s pension described in regulation G7 will be based on pensionable service from 6th April 1988 plus the period of pensionable service before that date that the member elected to buy for this purpose under regulation 20(2) of the 1980 Regulations(1) (widower’s pension).
(2) Subject to paragraph (3), any retirement lump sum payable to a member under regulation E13 in respect of any period of pensionable service that the member elected to buy as described in paragraph (1), will be reduced by 2/80ths of final year’s pensionable pay for each complete year of pensionable service before 25th March 1972, and by 1/80th of final year’s pensionable pay for each complete year of pensionable service after 24th March 1972 plus, in each case, the relevant daily proportion of that rate for each additional day.
(3) Where the member elected to buy an unreduced retiring allowance under regulation 29 of the 1980 Regulations, regulations Q2 (right to buy an unreduced retirement lump sum) and Q7 (part payment for additional service or unreduced retirement lump sum) will apply to the reduction in benefits described in paragraph (2) of this regulation as if the election had been made under regulation Q2.
(4) If a female member who has made an election under this regulation—
(a)is in pensionable employment on 1st April 2008, or returns to such employment after that date; and
(b)dies without leaving a widower but leaving a surviving civil partner or, as the case may be, a surviving nominated partner,
the widower’s pension described in paragraph (1) shall be paid to that surviving partner.
Regulation 20(2) was inserted into the 1980 Regulations by regulation 13 of S.I. 1989/1749.
