3.H.7.—(1) If it appears to the Scottish Ministers that the condition in regulation 3.H.3(2) (reduction of pension) will be met in any financial year in respect of the old service pension for that year, the Scottish Ministers may reduce the amount of that pension paid at any time in the financial year.
(2) Where the old service pension for a financial year is being reduced under this Chapter, the Scottish Ministers must review the amount of the reduction—
(a)at the end of the financial year; and
(b)at any time during the financial year if it appears to the Scottish Ministers that—
(i)the amount of the reduction made for the year is or may become incorrect; or
(ii)no reduction should be made.
(3) If at any time during the financial year it so appears, the Scottish Ministers must make such adjustments, whether by altering the amount of the reduction or by repaying to the employed pensioner any amount that should not have been deducted from the pension, as appear to the Scottish Ministers to be required.
(4) If at the end of the financial year it is apparent that—
(a)the reduction in the old service pension for the year was excessive; or
(b)no such reduction should have been made,
the Scottish Ministers must repay the amount due to the employed pensioner.
(5) If at the end of the financial year it is apparent that the old service pension paid for the year exceeded the amount due because the reduction in the old service pension required under regulation 3.H.3 (reduction of pension) was not made, the employed pensioner must repay the excess to the Scottish Ministers.
(6) Paragraph (5) does not affect the Scottish Ministers’ right to recover a payment or overpayment in any case where the Scottish Ministers consider it appropriate to do so.
