PART 2N.I.Increase or lump sum where person is treated as receiving retirement pension at a nominal weekly rate

Calculation of incrementN.I.

14.—(1) A person is entitled to an increment under this paragraph for each complete incremental period in the period of deferment.

(2) The amount of the increment for an incremental period shall be ⅕th per cent. of the weekly rate of the graduated retirement benefit to which the person would have been entitled for the period if his entitlement to graduated retirement benefit had not been deferred.

(3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2), the weekly rate of graduated retirement benefit shall be taken to include any increase in the weekly rate of that benefit and the amount of the increment in respect of such an increase shall be ⅕th per cent. of its weekly rate for each incremental period in the period of deferment beginning on the day the increase occurred.

(4) Amounts under sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) shall be rounded to the nearest penny, taking any ½p as nearest to the next whole penny.

(5) Where an amount under sub-paragraph (2) or (3) would, apart from this sub-paragraph, be a sum less than ½p, the amount shall be taken to be zero, notwithstanding any provision of the Contributions and Benefits Act, the Administration Act or the Pension Schemes Act.

(6) Where one or more orders have come into operation under section 132 of the Administration Act during the period of deferment, the rate for any incremental period shall be determined as if the order or orders had come into operation before the beginning of the period of deferment.
