The Police Cadets (Pensions) Regulations 1973

Police cadet's ill-health and injury awards

5.—(1) This Regulation shall apply to a police cadet who ceases or has ceased to serve as such and is permanently disabled as a result of a qualifying injury.

(2) Subject to the provisions of these Regulations, a police cadet to whom this Regulation applies shall be entitled to—

(a) a gratuity and, in addition, an injury pension,

(b) together with, if he ceased to serve on the ground of disablement, an ill-health pension;

and, subject to paragraphs (3) and (5), Regulations 20, 22, 24 (except for paragraphs (2) and (7)), 66(1), 67 and 68 of the principal Regulations shall apply as if he were such a regular policeman as is mentioned in paragraphs (1) and (3)(b) of the said Regulation 20 or, as the case may be, in paragraph (1) of the said Regulation 22.

(3) Regulation 20 of the principal Regulations, as so applied shall have effect as if the references to Parts VII and VIII of Schedule 2 were omitted therefrom; but an ill-health pension payable hereunder shall be reduced in respect of any period beyond insured pensionable age—

(a) by an amount calculated at an annual rate obtained by multiplying £1·70 by the number of completed years of pensionable service which the person concerned is entitled to reckon, and

(b) by an amount calculated at the annual rate of the graduated retirement benefit which would be payable to the person concerned, on the assumption that he retired from regular employment on attaining insured pensionable age, in return for the payment in respect of his period of pensionable service of graduated contributions at the rate specified in section 4(1)(c) of the National Insurance Act 1965, as originally enacted.

(4) If on the reconsideration of a police cadet's degree of disablement under Regulation 66(1) of the principal Regulations, as so applied, it is found that his disability has ceased—

(a) his injury pension, and

(b) his ill-health pension, if any,

shall be terminated.

(5) Regulation 67 of the principal Regulations, as so applied, shall have effect as if the proviso were omitted therefrom.
