66 Annual rate of ill-health awards

(1) The annual rate of a lower tier ill-health pension and of a higher tier ill-health pension is calculated as follows. (2) The annual rate of a lower tier ill-health pension is calculated in accordance with paragraphs (2)(a) and (2)(b) of regulation 59 (annual rate of retirement pension (active members)), but without subtracting the early payment reduction. (3) The annual rate of a higher tier ill-health pension is calculated by multiplying the annual amount of the adjusted lower tier ill-health pension by the member’s assumed period of pensionable service and by 2%. (3A) In the case of a member who is entitled to an equivalent amount to the NFPS lower tier ill-health pension or to an equivalent amount to the 1992 Scheme lower tier ill-health pension, the adjusted lower tier ill-health pension includes the adjusted equivalent amount. (4) In this regulation— “the adjusted lower tier ill-health pension” means the lower tier ill-health pension payable under paragraph (2) calculated— excluding an amount equal to the amount of any added pension which had been included in the calculation of the lower tier ill-health pension, and without the deduction for any commuted portion of the pension; “the adjusted equivalent amount” means— in the case of a member who is entitled to an equivalent amount to the NFPS lower tier ill-health pension, that amount calculated— excluding from the calculation the amount of any additional period of service purchased under Part 11 of the NFPS, and without the deduction of any commuted portion; in the case of a member who is entitled to the equivalent amount to the 1992 Scheme lower tier ill-health pension, that amount calculated without the deduction of any commuted portion. “the member’s assumed period of pensionable service” means the period expressed in years— beginning with the day after the member’s continuous period of pensionable service ceased, and ending with the day before the day on which the member would reach normal pension age.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
