• (3) T may choose to end payments for added 60ths or added years after joining this scheme.

• (4) In determining whether T qualifies under the existing police pension scheme for retirement benefits (other than an ill-health pension), T's pensionable service under that scheme terminates when T's pensionable service under this scheme terminates.

• (5) In determining T's final salary for any purposes of the existing police pension scheme under Schedule 7 to the Act (final salary link), pensionable earnings derived from service under this scheme are to be regarded as derived from service under the existing police pension scheme.

Becoming a deferred member of the existing police pension scheme

36

• (1) A transition member with continuity of service (T) does not become a deferred member of the existing police pension scheme unless T becomes a deferred member of this scheme.

• (b) if a transfer payment has been received by this scheme in respect of T's accrued rights under another occupational pension scheme, T's pensionable service under that scheme.

• (2) In calculating T's continuous period of pensionable service under this scheme, a period of part-time service counts as if it were a period of full-time service.

Calculation of weighted accrual for service in the 1987 scheme

39

• (1) This paragraph applies in relation to a 1987 transition member with continuity of service (“the member”).

• (2) This paragraph applies for the purpose of calculating benefits (other than an ill-health pension) payable under the 1987 scheme for the purposes of this Schedule.

• (3) The accrual rate for the member in the 1987 scheme is calculated as follows—

$a c c r u a l = n x r q$

where—

• “n” is the accrual that the member would have built up—had the member remained in the 1987 scheme until the member ceased to be in pensionable service under this scheme, andhad the member been in full-time service throughout the continuous period of pensionable service;

• “r” is the member's pensionable service under the 1987 scheme only; and

• “q” is the total number of years of continuous pensionable service under the 1987 scheme and this scheme.

• (4) In calculating “n”—

• (a) any period of part-time service is taken to be a period of full-time service; and

• (b) the maximum accrual of 2/3 applies.

• (5) In calculating “r”—

• (a) part-time service is not taken to be full-time service; and

• (b) the limit of 30 years' service applies.

• (6) In calculating “q”—

• (a) part-time service is taken to be full-time service; and

• (b) the limit of 30 years' service applies.

• (7) The annual rate of pension payable to the member under the 1987 scheme is the higher of—

• (a) the amount calculated by multiplying the accrual rate by the member’s final pay; or,

• (b) where a member is entitled to a deferred pension under regulation B5 (policeman’s deferred pension) and under Part 6 (policeman’s deferred pension) of Schedule B, the amount of pension that would have been payable under the 1987 scheme if those provisions applied for the calculation instead of sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) of this paragraph.

• (8) If the member is in part-time service, the member's final pay is calculated using the full-time equivalent rate of the member's pensionable earnings.

Calculation of lump sum under the 1987 scheme

40

• (1) In calculating the limit on the lump sum payable under regulation B7(4) of the 1987 Regulations (commutation – general provision) to a 1987 transition member, the member's continuous period of pensionable service under this scheme is included when calculating the member's pensionable service under the 1987 scheme.

• (2) In calculating the member's continuous period of pensionable service under this scheme, a period of part-time service counts as if it were a period of full-time service.

41

• (1) This paragraph applies if a transition member with continuity of service has not made a declaration under these Regulations that another adult is the dependant of the member for the purpose of death benefits under this scheme.

• (2) Where only part of the pension entitlement payable under a final salary scheme to or in respect of a person which is based on the pensionable service of that person is or may be determined by reference to the person's final salary, “final salary benefits” means the benefits in respect of which the pension entitlement is so determined.

Acceptance of club transfer value payments

44

• (1) If the scheme manager accepts a transfer payment under regulation 189 (request for acceptance of a transfer payment) on the condition that any part of the transfer payment that relates to the member's final salary benefits is to be paid into the existing police pension scheme, that part of the transfer payment must be paid into the 2006 scheme.
