This Order further varies the Firemen’s Pension Scheme brought into operation by the Firemen’s Pension Scheme Order 1973 (“the 1973 Scheme”). The variations are set out in the Schedule to the Order, to which effect is given by article 2.
Paragraph 2 of the Schedule introduces a new lump sum death grant, equivalent to 2 years' pensionable pay. The grant is payable, in addition to any other death benefits, on the death of a regular fireman who when he died was a contributing member of the 1973 Scheme. If the fireman leaves a widow (which by virtue of the definition inserted in article 8(1) of the 1973 Scheme by S.I. 1985/318 includes a widower) and they were not living apart, the grant is payable to the widow; otherwise, it is payable to the personal representatives.
Paragraphs 3 and 5 make related increases in pension contributions rates; paragraph 4 negatives any possible implication that the grant might be payable in respect of a part-time fireman.
