Paragraph 1 I1
Northern Ireland
Subject to paragraph 2, the amount of an ordinary pension is the greater of—
half the amount of the base pension described in sub-paragraph (2); and
the amount of a requisite benefit pension calculated in accordance with Part V.
The base pension mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) is—
where article 25(1)(a) applies, the higher tier ill-health pension to which the deceased would have been entitled had he retired with such a pension immediately before he died;
where article 25(1)(b) applies, the ordinary, short service or ill-health pension the deceased was receiving;
where article 25(1)(c) applies, the ill-health pension which the deceased would have been receiving if he had not ceased to be entitled to it; and
where article 25(1)(d) applies, the ill-health pension to which the deceased would have been entitled had he retired in circumstances entitling him to such a pension,
disregarding, in each case, the provisions for reduction contained in article 18(10) (commutation), article 20(9) (allocation) and Parts VI and VII of Schedule 2 (reduction of pension at state pensionable age and related to up-rating of widow’s pensions) but taking into account the provisions of Part IV of Schedule 2 (calculation of awards for part-time service).
