(1) Where the surviving spouse of a person who—\n(a) was a member of the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme but\n(b) was not a member of the New Firefighters’ Pension Scheme,\nwould otherwise have been entitled to a special award under rule 1 of Part 3 or an augmented award under rule 2 of that Part, the amount of his pension under that Part shall, subject to sub-paragraph (2), be calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (spouse’s or civil partner’s ordinary pension) in the same way as that of an ordinary pension.\n(2) For the purposes of this paragraph, paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme has effect—\n(a) as if the reference in sub-paragraph (1)(a) to the base pension were a reference to the appropriate proportion of the base pension, and\n(b) as if the base pension were the ill-health pension to which the deceased would have been entitled if he had, when he ceased to serve, retired because he was disabled in circumstances entitling him to such a pension.\n2. The appropriate proportion mentioned in paragraph 1(2)(a) is the proportion which the deceased’s relevant pensionable service bears to his total pensionable service.”.",
