Regulation 21 Calculation of notional pension referred to in Regulations 16 and 18
The notional pension referred to in Regulations 16 and 18 of these Regulations is one payable at an annual rate at which an ill-health pension would have been payable under the Firemen's Pension Scheme to the person concerned—
if he had retired with such a pension on the date on which he lost employment as a regular fireman or suffered diminution of emoluments; and
in the case of a person who had attained the age of forty years at that date, if, in addition to the pensionable service reckonable under the Firemen's Pension Scheme, he had been entitled to reckon an additional period of pensionable service in accordance with paragraph (2) of this Regulation and had served as a regular fireman for that period.
The additional period of pensionable service referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be a period of two years together with—
a further two years for each of the first four completed years of the person's reckonable service between the date when he attained the age of forty years and the date of the loss or diminution; and
a further year for each completed year of such service after the four:
Provided that the additional period of pensionable service shall not exceed the shortest of the following periods, namely—
the period for which the person would have served as a regular fireman after the date of the loss or diminution had he continued so to serve until he attained the age of compulsory retirement,
his period of reckonable service, or
fifteen years.
For the purposes of the preceding paragraph the expression “reckonable service” includes any period of service or employment which has been taken into account for the purposes of any award under the Firemen's Pension Scheme to which the person concerned has become entitled.
