89.—(1) This regulation applies when a deferred member of this scheme becomes entitled to payment for life of a full retirement pension.

(b)adding the late payment supplement (if any) specified in that account in relation to that provisional amount;

(c)subtracting the early payment reduction (if any) specified in that account in relation to that amount; and

(d)subtracting the commutation amount (if any) specified in that account in relation to that amount.

(3) The annual rate of any description of full retirement pension is calculated without subtracting the early payment reduction if—

(a)the member buys out the early payment reduction in relation to that description of full retirement pension; or

(b)the full retirement pension comes into payment early on grounds of permanent medical unfitness(1).

(b)for a retirement club transfer earned pension, deferred club transfer earned pension;

(c)for a retirement added (self only) pension, deferred added (self only) pension; and

(d)for a retirement added (all beneficiaries) pension, deferred added (all beneficiaries) pension.
