Reduction of pension in case of default
50.—(1) Where a police officer or a former police officer becomes permanently disabled and has brought about or substantially contributed to the disablement by his own default, the Board may reduce the amount of any—
(a)ill-health pension; or
(b)deferred pension which comes into payment early on the ground of permanent disablement for engaging in any regular employment,
payable to him by them by an amount not exceeding a half of that to which he would otherwise be entitled.
(2) This regulation shall not apply where the person concerned—
(a)is in receipt of a standard ill-health pension and has attained the age of 55 years; or
(b)is in receipt of a deferred pension and has attained the age of 65 years.
(3) Where the pension of a police officer has been reduced under this regulation, then, if when he attains the age of 65 years the reduced pension is less than the amount of the deferred pension which would have been payable on his attaining that age had he been granted such a pension on the date of his ceasing to serve, it shall be increased to that amount.
