Paragraph L.7 Modifications of Scheme rules in case of Gurkha Pension Scheme transfereesF1
United Kingdom
A Gurkha Pension Scheme transferee who was a pensioner member of the Gurkha Pension Scheme is not entitled to the payment of a lump sum under rule D.2, D.5 or D.6.
Rule E.6 (reduction in pensions under rules E.1 and E.2 in cases of wide age disparity) does not apply to a pension payable under rule E.1 in the case of a member who was a Gurkha Pension Scheme transferee if the member had been the spouse or civil partner of the person to whom the pension is payable continuously since before the relevant date until the member’s death.
In paragraph (2) “the relevant date” means—
in the case of a member who became an active member as a result of exercising the option under rule L.2, 1st October 2007, and
in the case of a member who became a member as a result of exercising the option under rule L.3, the date on which that option took effect (see rule L.3(7)).
Rule F.1(4) (right to transfer payment) applies as if a Gurkha Pension Scheme transferee who was not a pensioner member of the Gurkha Pension Scheme was a former active member of this Scheme.
