The Police Pensions Regulations 1987

Transitional modification of Part I of Schedule D

2.—(1) This paragraph shall apply in the case of a child whose father was serving as a regular policeman or entitled to a pension other than a deferred pension either—

(a) on 1st April 1973, or

(b) at the date of his death where that date is before 1st July 1973,

where neither he nor his widow exercised any right of election accorded by Regulation 58, 59, 60 or 61 of the Regulations of 1973.

(2) Where this paragraph applies, Part I of Schedule D shall have effect as if for any reference in paragraph 1 or 2 thereof to the relevant parent’s pension or notional pension there were substituted a reference to the amount specified in the following sub-paragraph and as if paragraph 3 were omitted.

(3) The reference in sub-paragraph (2) to the amount specified in this sub-paragraph is, subject to sub-paragraph (4), the difference between the two following amounts, namely—

(a) an amount which is the aggregate of—

(i) an amount equal to a sixtieth of the father’s average pensionable pay multiplied by the period in years of his pensionable service up to 20 years,

(ii) an amount equal to 2 sixtieths of that pay multiplied by the period in years by which his pensionable service exceeds 20 years;

(b) an amount calculated as aforesaid but by reference only to the father’s pre-1972 pensionable service.

(4) Where the father’s pensionable service exceeds 30 years, then there shall be reduced by that excess—

(a) his pensionable service taken into account for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(a);

(b) his pre-1972 pensionable service taken into account for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(b).

(5) In this paragraph “pre-1972 pensionable service” has the meaning assigned thereto by paragraph 5(4) of Part II of this Schedule.
