Paragraph 1 F1
Where the surviving spouse of a person who—
was a member of the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme but
was not a member of the New Firefighters’ Pension Scheme F2or the 2015 Scheme,
would 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.
For the purposes of this paragraph, paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme has effect—
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
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.
