The Police Pensions (War Service) Regulations 1979

9.—(1) Subject to paragraph (5), the payment conditions referred to in Regulation 8(3) shall be satisfied if, within three months of the policeman concerned exercising his right of election, or within such longer period as the police authority may allow in the circumstances of his case, there is paid to the police authority the appropriate sum calculated—

(a) so far as concerns an election under Regulation 8(1), in accordance with Part I of the Schedule;

(b) so far as concerns an election under Regulation 8(2), in accordance with Part II of the Schedule.

(2) Where the policeman concerned ceased to serve as such before 6th November 1979 and, on that date he was in receipt of a pension then, without prejudice to paragraph (1), the payment conditions shall be satisfied if, within the three month period mentioned in paragraph (1) by notice he undertakes to pay the appropriate sum by regular instalments of such amount that the payment of the sum will be completed within a period of five years:

Provided that—

(a) he may at any time discharge his liability under the undertaking, in whole or in part, by paying the whole or part of the balance then outstanding;

(b) if he dies before discharging his liability under the undertaking, the balance shall be payable immediately.

(3) Where the policeman concerned is entitled to a deferred pension which has not come into payment within the three month period referred to in paragraph (1), the payment conditions shall be satisfied if, within three months of the pension coming into payment there is paid to the police authority the appropriate sum.

(4) Where the policeman concerned has commuted a portion of his pension for a lump sum of an amount not less than that of the appropriate sum and payment of the lump sum has not been made, he may by notice instruct the police authority to deduct the appropriate sum from the lump sum before making payment thereof; and in such case the giving of the notice shall be treated for the purposes of this Regulation and of the Schedule as if it were the payment of the appropriate sum.

(5) Where the policeman concerned is retiring in circumstances in which a transfer value is payable under Regulation 85 of the principal Regulations, the payment condition referred to in Regulation 8(3) shall be satisfied if the appropriate sum, calculated as provided in paragraph (1), is paid to the police authority before he retires or is deducted by the police authority from the amount of the transfer value which would otherwise be payable under the said Regulation 85.
