The Firefighters' Pension Scheme (Wales) Order 2007

Ordinary pension

1.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), this rule applies to a person who satisfies an eligibility condition and retires having reached normal retirement age or state pensionable age.

(2) This rule does not apply to a firefighter member whose notice of retirement states that the firefighter member is retiring for the purpose of taking up employment with another authority.

(3) A person to whom this rule applies becomes entitled, on retiring, to an ordinary pension calculated, subject to paragraph (4), by multiplying that person’s pensionable service by that person’s final pensionable pay and dividing the resultant amount by sixty.

(4) Where a person to whom this rule applies becomes entitled, on retiring, to a pension in respect of service as a retained or volunteer firefighter, that person’s ordinary pension is to be calculated by multiplying that person’s final pensionable pay by that person’s pensionable retained or volunteer service and dividing the resultant amount by sixty.

(5) Where a firefighter member is entitled to more than one ordinary pension, those pensions are not to be aggregated unless rule 7(6) applies.
