The Water Officers (Compensation) Regulations 1964

30.—(1) The provisions of regulations 18, 19, 20 and 21 of these regulations shall not apply to a person who had been participating in a scheme associated with his employment for providing superannuation benefits by means of contracts or policies of insurance, and who, after the loss of his employment or the diminution of his emoluments, continued to participate in that scheme, or became entitled to a benefit or prospective benefit thereunder other than a return of contributions.

(2) If the claimant is such a person as is mentioned in paragraph (1) of this regulation who has lost his employment, the compensating authority may, if the relevant scheme so permits, make such payments to or in respect of him, whether by way of the payment of premiums or otherwise, as are actuarially equivalent to the amount by which his retirement compensation might have been increased under regulation 23(2) or (4) of these regulations had he been a person to whom regulation 18, 19 or 20 applied.

(3) If the claimant is such a person as is mentioned in paragraph (1) of this regulation who has suffered a diminution of his emoluments, the compensating authority may, if the relevant scheme so permits, make such payments to or in respect of him, whether by way of the payment of premiums or otherwise, as will secure to the claimant the like benefits as if his emoluments had not been diminished.

(4) If the claimant is such a person as aforesaid and he becomes entitled to a benefit under such a scheme as is mentioned in paragraph (1) of this regulation before reaching normal retiring age, the compensating authority may reduce any long-term compensation payable to him under Part IV of these regulations by the amount of such benefit.
